I'm sure it's still possible to get it somewhere. I'm rather disappointed that Compaq decided to dump the NT/Alpha program, but I suppose it wasn't one of their big sellers. :P >Eugene sent the changes as he is running Crafty on IA64 machines inside >Microsoft, apparently. Has he reported anything about Crafty's speed on these machines (i.e., how fast are they compared to, say, the Alpha 21264s)? IIRC, he did say before that there were a couple Itanium machines running there in his office, but I think they were only like 400-600MHz or something. I'm interested to know more about them. :) Jeremiah
