Briefly, your question is about the 3400XP+ which is a socket 748 chip. I am writing about the Athlon64FX which is a socket 940 chip. I don't doubt that you can get alot of good benchmarks out the cheaper chip with its narrower datapath-- at least many purposes and games. But let's restrict or dicussion to very memory intensive stuff. Look more carefully at benchmarks related to scientific computing (I think) like PI calculations to get a better idea of chess performance. Also, I would not look at the chip out of the context of the chipsets which supprt it. If you can make a case that chipsets serving a socket 748 do a better job for chess than the chipsets for 940 socket chips-- the ones which also serve 2-way and 8-way servers, I'd love to read it.
