I think also that the ram available for resources and large hash has exceeded
the mhz rating for now. In other words with four slots of 256, or two slots of
512, there is more than enough memory for our hash settings for now.

If the processors were to take a big jump in size, then the larger hash would be
helpful. If we had a 6000 mhz processor, with 3 gigs of ram and hash set at 1000
megs, then I think this hash size can be used. It seems to me that over the last
ten years, the total amount of memory that has become available in todays
systems has exceeded the processing power.

I think someday we will look back on 1000 megs of hash as small.
