I've booted my 700mhz Celeron into WindozeME's crappy version of Dos, and run there, the Dos Comet uses 62356k hashtables (approx 60.89mb) which is pretty good considering that the computer only has 64mb of memory. So I'm just going to let that run like that for a while and see how long I can tolerate using my old computer. After 2 1/2 half hours, Comet has reached a sd of 13 and it says Nf3. I sure hope I remembered to turn on the log!!! I don't have a clue if Comet can come up with e5, but since it's one of my favorite programs, I'm going to give it a chance. Pete
