I am running Fritz on a laptop p90 and I do not think it is very impressive with typical fritz mark test of 56 @ mid 30 seconds with a search speed typical of mid eighty's nodes/.second. For example it struggles with Chesmaster 5000 on a 486 dx2-66 with only 12 meg RAM. I am going to buy a desk top 400 mhz pentium with 128 mb RAM. I am told by my systems engineer that Windows 95 & 98 does not support beyond 64 Mb Ram. He does tell me that Windows NT does. 1) What can be said about performance on a p400 128 mb RAM Ie Fritz mark data running with NT. 2) What can be expected with Fritz same computer except windows 95 and 64 mb RAM? 3) Maybe 1 and 2 above does not perform better than a p333, 64 mb RAM and windows 95 New subject: Again, not impressed with Fritz on my P100 laptop. What performance increase will PowerBook make ? Is powerbook anymore than just a enhanced opening ? Does it provide value in mid and end game over Fritz standard tree ? Would copying Fritz's Databook to the C drive improve its performance. Ie instead of purchasing PowerBook perhaps this will give roughly same increase in performance (if there is any). Bottom Line, I want to give Fritz all the help it can. It is my guess the program is modeled for speed, speed, speed & speed with not too much chess knowledge, relying on search tree and powerbooks. Am I wrong ? I am not mad at the program---I love it, exceptional learning and study tool, the best I suspect Thanks, I know you do not like posting questions.
