I do not know that it means a lot for fritz5
I know only that it is the claim of chessbase.

I found in the past that sometimes very big hash tables are counter productive
for fritz5 when I give it positions that it needs hours to solve

I found that for the same examples big hash tables became productive when I
upgraded to fritz5(16 bit).

I am interested in the results of a nunn match between fritz and itself when one
side has more hash tables and the other has faster hardware to see what is more
important.

I believe that  faster hardware is more important then Ram that you can get at
the same price also for fritz5.
