Alex. Cache memory is not user selectable - it is hardware. If by "cache" you mean hashtable size (also referred to as transposition table size), you'll want to read the results, posted below, of Hyatt's tests in that regard with his chess program Crafty. The very best way to test this would be to actually do a similar test with your own computers using the programs you want to test. Lots of times we wave our hands and make lots of very intelligent theories as to which is best and why. But with a few tests we can absolutely know, for sure, the correct answer; for the hardware, operating system, and software in question. And it saves a lot of hand waving and theorizing. Dave
