Thanks for the detailed answer.

Your compile, TogaII134_PIV_32bit, is
performing well in my tests.
As you can see, it is not always consistent on different computers. But the tests will guide us on using the all-around optimization techniques.
Pls. pm me you pc specs so that I'll build a customized Crafty binary for you.
My computer is Intel Dual P4 Prescott.
Fritz Bench: 2; Axon Bench: 5.8
A little slow, I know.

I'd be interested in your intel- and ms-compiles
for crafty.

All the best & good luck with compiling x64 ones.
Thank Shaun Brewer for releasing the last Toga versions of Thomas Gaksch. That was a lot of learning experience for me. But anyway, please give me a day to finish your request.

Good luck with your tests too.

I just got lucky this time. Using Jim Ablett's "fixed_Crafty_21.6_src_for_compiling_single_cpu", I managed to compile a 64-bit using MSVC 2005. Speedwise, it's like using a 32 bit dual cpu engine. Thanks Master Jim, at least there was success in building one. Here's to those who want to test it. Pls. edit the crafty.rc according to your taste.

Note: It's for 1 cpu only!
