So my question is this -- has anyone had an opportunity to try out SETI 
on an Opteron system, and how much of a performance increase did they 
see in comparison to an Athlon XP processor of comparable speed?

Unless they've released an x86-64-Windoze version of S@H recently, 
you're actually going to see a reduction in speed, according to the 
benchmarks I've seen.

Aparently, the way S@H works, the 32-bit stuff in the Hammer doesn't do 
the job for it as well as the Athlon XPs do.

But, I would hope the S@H folks think about releasing a Windoze 64-bit 
version sometime in the near future.  :-)
