Yes, that's the reason I ran the test.  Conclusions without some data to back it
up.  So now I have at least some data.  Also after some games my data indicated
a slight advantage for 10 Meg vs 256 meg so I ran some more games and now the
score for 256M vs 10M is 213-213.  Anyway I've seen enough to conclude that 256M
does not hurt Fritz 7 at fast time controls.
