I was on playchess.com and a opteron user said his dual 2.0 ghz's doubled
compared to a dual 2.0 ghz athlon mp's..... is this have any truth?? He's
looking at 4,800 kn/s on deep fritz 7!!!! thats more then most quads!
I do relize you couldnt have this kn/s with df7 because it's not 64 bit capable
but such programs like deep sjeng or crafty will be this much imporoved???
Im confused by all this 64 bit thing. Can someone shed some light on what
exactly 64 bit does, and what it may do for chess. I always thought it just uped
the cache memory so it thus made things faster since info travels much much less
time then from memory chips. So very bad at keeping up with technology...
