bas sent me a 40-bit stamp... nice:

	1:40:051210:[email protected]::qsCVFGF+ZkcA/B63:SNSrr

took 28 hours on the pair of below machines with 2 cores used on the
athlon64 x2.  (I think the p4 prescott 3.6Ghz does not have
hyperthreading).


The stats for those machines:

	http://www.hashcash.org/benchmark/

4.68 Mh/s	0.22s	2.2Ghz	athlon64 x2	mmx std 1x2

3.9 Mh/s	0.27s	3.6Ghz	P4 prescott	mmx std 1x2

That is one core on the athlon64 so a single athlon64 x2 with both
cores slightly outperforms the 2Ghz G5.

But I would think assembler targetted at the 64 bit athlon + any 64
bit mmx / sse variant should get a boost on a 64bit vs 32bit athlon?
