Bob was entered in CCT 7 and then I asked Bob and Peter if could run Crafty Classic in CCT 7, originally thinking it may be in addition to Crafty. It then just worked out that I would run Crafty or a modified Crafty since Bob was busy with his courses and the like. Bob has been great towards me and has given me a free hand to run Crafty any way I wish -- so for me that is a little more fun than being an operator following the author's instructions to the "T". Of course, If Crafty does bad poorly here, it will be all my fault ;>). > >Mind if I ask what you recommend for buying a opteron box?

Building one your self is the cheapest, This site actually lists all the componeyts you would need. http://www.alvio.com/smoreinfo.asp?iid=3221 My cost is just about $1500, which I think is relatively inexpensive, but still powerful enough that it should do well here I believe. I usually hold on to my boxes for about 4 years, so this will quickly become average ia year or two and slow in 4 years. > >For my own research, a single Opteron will suffice at least for another 3-4 >months while I do coding and optimization, but would like to get a dual or even >quad eventually for tournament play... perhaps I should start with a dual so I >can get a head start on the SMP coding.

For those that follow on ICC, it will be me behind the Crafty logon. best, Michael > >Cheers, >Joshua Shriver
