I know that almost all my chess programs run well under w2k, but I am still looking for the best. W2K is fast, but takes a lot of disk space... Hmmm... As I have (somehow) killed the w2k on my Celereon, I am going to do some tests with W98se and ROM II (Revenge of Mozilla) now in a hope that resulting windows will take less system resources and, as a result of this, the program will get some more. I will let you (CCC) know. :-) Didzis
