cool let us know how this turns out slate. i looked at a scsi controller, and a 15000 cheetah with large cache today, it was about $500 for both at gamepc. also a question slate. i can see where this hd speed increase will help when using tablebases for the endgame. but if we have large ram, 1 gig or more, it seems the program will not even use this hard drive access speed increase, that the scsi offers. for example, for a midgame position. once the hash fills, do you think the program starts to read/write to the balance of the ram that is available, or do you think once the hash fills the program starts a file swap to the hard drive. or do you think with direct memory access on, the program will read/write directly to the hard drive. please explain how you think all this data swaps, and reads and writes. kburcham
