From what all the Computer Venders are telling Me,its going to be about 3-4,5-6 weeks depending on Who's information from Thier AMD source is accurate.The Vender also say that the 246 Opteron Processor will be somewhwere around 1200.00 dollars each. Those Benchmarks You were speaking about were not proformed with the 246 Chip were They? I don't believe so,the 246(2Ghz) Chip should do real better than that. Crafty should SCREAM with the Opteron 64 bit. I have posted serval times on the CCC Board ,that the top Computer Chess Programmers need to revise Thier Program to accomadate this new 64 bit technology. The Programmers do read these postings on this Board,so don't be surprised to see 64 bit Programs out before Christmas. Theres money to be made ,and the Programmers know it. What Operating System are You planning to have installed with those Opterons? Windows Server 2003(64 bit)? One other consideration is theat a Quad Opteron Processor is not that much more than a dual Processor,considering the money that You would be spending already. Some of the Venders have sent Me some quotes ,and the difference between a dual and a quad is not much more than the price of 2 Processors -vs- 4 Processors. If You build Your own ,there It is. You want the faster/strongest/best don't You? Let Me hear what You think.>>>>Mike
