I've _never_ said bitmaps are faster on X86, and I don't recall that being in
this thread
anywhere.  I have _always_ claimed that bitmaps seem to be about as good as any
other
approach on a 32 bit machine.

Then we started the 64 bit discussion at some point.  I seem to remember that
you did,
on several occasions within this thread, take issue with the statement "bitboard
programs
gain more from moving to a 64 bit architecture than non-bitboard programs do."
