Thanks I assume that you are like me in that you don't just play speed chess with it all the time, but that you also allow the computer to do long analysis of chess positions, so therefor you want as much hash table as possible. On a 128 meg system, I tried hash tables as large as 100 megs. But this slows the system down quite a bit and if I want to have the program run in the background while I do other things then it makes the system really bog down. I also read a post here on CCC that doubling the hash table size only adds about 3 points to the rating of a program. (Really????) So I run Fritz 5 with just 32 megs hash table. But if you only have 16 megs of memory then you are pretty limited as it is. You shouldn't plan on running anything else while running Fritz. I suggest that you use at most 8 megs hash, but this setting will make your computer seem like a 386. maybe you should run 4 megs hash to be safe. John Coffey
