Yes, of course you want the program compiled for the right processor. :-)

Crafty has run on DEC/Compaq/HP 64-bit Alpha processors with very good
performance, showing that it can take advantage of the "bitness". All it needs
is a recompile.

Just wait for a good gcc release, or Windows XP 64 with the MSVC compiler that
Eugene Nalimov obviously already has.
