It would be possible for me too but it takes about 2 mins hd-swapping at engine
start. Any hint how to avoid it? I don't think so: Fritz: at least 10MB, Win98
at least 14-16MB =>  24MB RAM minimum so you could, ideal circumstances, use
64-24 = 40MB hash, reality is much below; do you have the TBs? Another some megs
RAM...
