There is no answer to this question because it depends on ... Everything. Including: 1. Size of memory on the particular machine 2. The particular problem being analyzed 3. The program being used to analyze among others. A general rule of thumb is: Leave enough memory for the operating system and a little headroom, then give everything else to the chess program. On this machine (for instance) I have 512 megs of ram. I generally allocate about 380 megs for hash tables when analyzing chess positions. If I was doing strictly endgames, I might reduce that and give more memory to the EGTB cache. Dieter did an interesting study a while back. It might be a good idea to look that study over (especially since I don't remember the conclusion!) ;-)
