Will RSA-640 be solved soon?

[Aquatic]

They managed to solve the 576, so solving the 640 must be within their reach.

I also notice that the prize money has been reduced.

As of August 2003, the prizes are the same. And the whole point of RSA is that it gets exponentially harder, so it's not a sure bet that 640's within reach.
