I say they will but he Yes, I do. The rule of thumb is that doubling speed gives you 50 points. This is for tournament time controls, but it's the best we can do for now. Here's the experiment: take an average computer (say, a PII/266) with 64 MB RAM and use a popular program (Fritz, maybe?) to analyze a few positions overnight. Then increase the RAM to 128 MB and repeat. Use the largest hash tables possible with each amount of RAM. Use positions that somebody would want to analyze overnight, too. Perhaps positions from tournament games at crucial points? Be sure to have a fair distribution of middlegame and endgame positions. Cheers, Tom
