I don't think you can get a 40 elo point jump from a book in Fritz 5, not at
slow chess. You can not get a 40 elo point jump from just going to 32 bit,
unless the program has been improved in other ways. I think if going to 32 bit
was that good you would have seen Hiarcs 7 go with 32 bit, but I think I seen
Mark say that he got more out of 16 bit.( I guess he programs on a P 200MMX)
