I do not think that the difference between 64 Mbytes and 128 Mbytes is significant in 10 minutes/side. It is more significant at longer time control but even in this case I read that for most programs(and I assume crafty is not an exception) it is the same as being 6-7% faster and you expect an evarage difference of about 5 elo rating that is about 0.3 point in 50 games by being 6-7% faster. I do not know what is the difference in speed from the second handicap(66 Mhz bus against 100 Mhz bus) Uri
