This means that SSDF have 128Mb in his system, and they allocated
around 95Mb for hash tables.
I have 192Mb memory in my system, running Win98. When I start my
computer, only 134Mb are avaiable, because Win98 and others
programs occupies the rest of the memory (192-134=58Mb).
A lot of memory I lost in the start!
When I run my Fritz6 with only 2Mb for hash tables, free memory
decrease to 113Mb, then I have 113+2=115Mb for Ht, but how I am
so optimistic, sometimes I use Ht=128Mb.
In my opinion, at least 128Mb RAM for system, mainly if you want to
analyse a position for a long time.
