I use 512 mb for all games now. This used to be an issue on slower computers and less "optmizied" programming. I would venture to say that any machine faster than about 1 - 1.5GHz would not be crippled by giving the engine as much hash as possible (at least for Chesbase engines...) At what point does the extra hash size stop offering any performance gains would be another question... -elc.
