I hope that your prediction about "this year" will be not changed later by the next one. I don't know how much my mate solver will benefit from 64 bits (this must be seen on the place) but I expect to try many of new 64 bits chip capability. First is presence of much more available registers that actual few. On 64 bits we expect to have 128 of them. Very often that could speed everything inside of procedures when registers used for keeping variables. 64 bits register fit 100% to the chess board square number. This could permit to see at once certain aspect of entire board. It could be "color", "occupation" and so like. Twice as speedy saving of entire chess board in every ply and so like. I have impression that 64 bits programming will have very much of excitement of something completely new that now we lack. 64 bits computer will speed and will improve everything everywhere, chess program logic will be only one small part of this process. Price will go down very quickly as soon as 64 bits chip will be produced. This is what we have seen already in the past with many other chips. Leonid. >Ralf > >Ralf
