I don't know, but I'd like to know :)

Given that AMD will release their next 64-bit chip (a cheaper
'desktop' version of the Opteron) on 23 september, maybe Windows
will follow soon. Or maybe not.

I wouldn't recommend this unless you have prior experience with
Unix. It doesn't cost anything if you set up the system yourself,
but you can also buy a commercial Linux distribution specially for
the Opteron from SuSE.

It would allow you to run Deep Sjeng, Crafty, SCID and xboard, but
not much more as far as chess software goes :-/
