---------------------------
To build your own tablebases i would think that the more cache you can afford to
use for generating your bases the better and faster it would generate!
Rounded off, i use 8 mb cache for my 3-4-5 man tablebases when using Fritz and
have heard similiar amounts by other users on here!
It took me around 30 hours to download all 3-4-5 man from Hyatt's site using a
fast DSL connection!
To generate all the bases could take days or possibly even a week or so from
what i heard in the past, but it all depends on the speed of your processing!
Hope this helps!

Terry
