I also want to make use of 5 man tablebases.  Where did you see the 10 disc set
advertised?  Any retailers you know offhand in the UK?  Price?  How much
hard-drive space do they require? (I appreciate if you can answer any of these
questions and not necessarily them all!)

Basically I want to use all 5 man without the problems highlighted in another
thread (caused by having an incomplete set of 5 man).  I'd also prefer to
purchase discs and avoid the hassle of downloading of the net.

Slightly off topic...  anyone know what size of cache is recommended for use
with 5 man?  Assuming there is plenty of RAM,  8Mb? 16Mb?

Thanks for any help

Gordon
