The hash table setting is specific to each personality. If you want a
personality to use a different size hash table, you have to create a copy of
that personality that uses the different size. Just go to "Game Room -> Game ->
Set Up Personality" and load the personality that you want to change. Adjust the
hash table size and rename the personality to something obvious (like "CM 32MB",
or something like that). Save the personality, and you can then use it the same
as any other personality.

As for how much you should allocate, remember that The King REQUIRES that all
hash table memory must always reside in PHYSICAL RAM. It cannot be swapped out.
Windows uses quite a bit, and the CM GUI uses (at minimum) another 30-40 MB. So,
on your 128 MB machine, I would not use more than 16MB if you are planning to
have these kinds of personalities play each other (requiring double the amount).
