Hi Mark -=20

I'll defer to others on the hardware.  For taking advantage of multiple =
cores I'd recommend Clozure Common Lisp (formerly OpenMCL).  It has =
native threads, which allows your software to run on multiple cores =
simultaneously.

Clozure CL is free and open source.  You can get it at =
http://ccl.clozure.com.

Yours,
