That makes the pro-opteron bulletins seem kinda silly, doesn't it! Why? As stated before several times by now, it runs 32 bit software very fast as well. If you don't want to use Linux, you can use the old Windows and the old chessprograms you have now too. It'll run em faster than an Athlon or Pentium 4 does. Given that prerelease versions of 64 bit Windows are apparently already available to some development shops, a full release can't be far off. It's not the Opterons fault that Microsoft was slower than Linux on this one. The chip is great. >When will the top chess engines run under Linux ????????????? [They all >require Windows, don't they?] Mine already does. Works nicely with SCID on Linux, too. Christophe is working on Chess Tiger. -- GCP
