Two copies of the hash table must get loaded. One temporarily because whenever you exceed 50% of the RAM (fritz 5 is an exception because they create a separate process for the engine and hash table) every chess program thrashes with swapping. After the swapping stops then you can continue. As for WIN 98 the problem is solved only if a new program is written in inline blocks of code. The problem will continue with all the old programs. -- Komputer Korner On July 25, 1998 at 11:36:16, Tom Kerrigan wrote: >On July 25, 1998 at 07:21:27, Bo Persson wrote: > >>Win95 is somewhat flawed (in this sense :-) because it first loads the .exe file >>into its cache buffers and then copies it from there into the program address >>space.
