Hi, Brett!

One thing I can tell you is that Fritz 5.32 is a total RAM glutton.  Consider 64
MB (that's what I have on a PII-266) an absolute minimum if you intend to use
the program for analysis or, indeed, at longer time controls.  128 is what I
hope to be getting fairly soon (seems to be cheap nowadays).

Have fun!
