Go up one level in this thread


A year ago I bought a Compaq 750 Athlon, 384MB Ram. It replaced a 266 PII
64MB Ram.  I have most of the chess programs (Shredder, Chessmaster, Rebel,
Chess Tiger, Fritz family, etc.) including 5 Gig of
tablebases, and run a lot of other
programs as well.  I have had no problems at all, other than typical
Win 98 problems.
