This actually leads to an interesting question, If you were able to put together a 32cpu cluster for Crafty, how do you think it would fair vs DB at this point? Also, if someone were to ask you, what is the best cpu's for crafty, would you answer opteron? xeon? Itanium? (I heard these were very good for chess)
