I have been running Fritz 7 on a 1.2 Athlon thunderbird (Win98) with 256Mb Hash (from 512 Mb ram) and utilising Infinite analysis. I have found the MMX version to become unstable after several hours analysis. As quoted elsewhere the nodecount is also down. I have found the 'no MMX' version to be more stable and much faster, and no unstability problems so far. Has anyone else had the MMX version of Fritz 7 eventually come to a grinding halt and lock the system up requiring switch off? This has happened several times now, so I have switched to the 'no MMX' version permanently now. I would welcome any comments on what may be happening here with the MMX version. Is it perhaps creating memory problems on the system (i.e. using up all available ram, slowing the machine down until it grinds to a halt?) Keith
