Well if the RAM does fit your motherboard (I'm pretty sure it wouldn't because I don't know of any manufacturers who build computers that are capable of holding a 1 ghz chip of RAM and then stick 93 MB of RAM on it. I'm not even sure if they make a 93 chip or if there is a combo that will equal of to 93" then loading up 1 ghz for hash isn't too smart, you'll probably cause the chess engine to run very very slow. If all you want the RAM for is chess, then a 128 chip or 256 chip should be fine, and you'll save a few dollars (or whatever currency you might have). As far as performance goes then 128 is pretty much enough for all games above 60 minutes. 4-16 is great for blitz. I also read once in a Steve Lopez (Chessbase article) that if you load hash in increments of 4 then it works more efficiently. I'm not sure if that still holds true or not because the article was pretty old. Here's the article, maybe it will be a bit more useful to you. http://chessbase.com/support/support.asp?pid=199 >>>3.
