If you have enough RAM you will see that there is no difference between WIN 95 and WIN NT in the anount of RAM that is grabbed for the virtual cache on the same machine. I have a dual boot setup and both operating systems grab about 20 Mb of RAM for the virtual cache (lots more of the hard disk also). The problems everybody has been reporting are because of the small RAM they are using. For chess programs you need at least 128 Mb of RAM and then you can load 64Mb of hash tables ( up to 88-90Mb if the program allocates this amount). -- Komputer Korner
