houdini has been tested @ LTC with results in line w/ ingo bauer's IPON rating list. i would guess the disparity between houdini 32 bit & rybka 32 bit would be even greater. houdini is generally excellent at endgames though as i've posted it largely failed at one of the more recent controversial ones (kramnik -carlsen, which it evaluated as 'no progress'/draw for about 42 plies before finding a win.) robert did say he's looking into the issue.
