Once >they are complete, you will want to use a very, very fast striped disk set. Would you explain exactly what the Fast striped disk is? I had the 3,4 and 5 man Tablebases on a drive with 8.2 ms seek (Seagate )(IDE) on an 800Mhz Athlon and then when i got my 1Ghz and put the Tablebases on a slightly slower Maxtor (8.5~ or so ms) Fritz didn't solve all the same positions at a faster time in the endgame (MES ECE etc.) Quite a few it took many more seconds which doesn't make any sense so i figure the seek time couldn't possible account for this would RPM's cause this or a drive being ATA 66 or 100, or what about cache? The Seagate has 2MB of cache not sure about the Maxtor , the Maxtor is ATA 100 the Seagate is not. Pretty strange
