I would venture to guess that NO program (chess >or otherwise) would see less than 15-20%, MHz for MHz vs. the Athlon XP. When Slater Wold was compiling chess programs and comparing AMD64 to AMD32, there were a few that got no speedup. Fruit initially was 10% slower on AMD64, and after using a newer beta compiler it was about 1.5% faster on AM64. Gerbil was 0.3% faster on AMD64. But like I said previously, so far we have beta compilers with a beta operating system, so maybe it's all meaningless at this point anyway. I'm really itching to buy an AMD64 machine, and I have no problems using Linux, but I haven't had the best results with GCC.
