Hi Patrick..

Please see my message to Joachim above..

I am not afraid of the chess programs at all. I belive that time is against me
because they are getting stronger. But a match like that will need undivided
attention and I do not want to do a lousy job..

You are right that I will be upgrading my computer! (my wife needed a new
computer infact)...Infact i just ordered one today! But I am not in a speed
race.. so I ordered a computer with a P4 2.6/HT800 with 1 GB Mem.. It is not the
best, but it is enough for me know...But, I spent significant time checking
computers with dual processors.. Overall, I didn't want to pay a lot of money to
be "on top of the line"... (I will probably get 40-50% of speed, I guess)..
(also Nunn's article in chessbase was built with dual 2.8 Xeon proc. with 1 GB
Mem..)

maybe you can give me an advice: is it worth 200-300$ to upgrade to 2 GB memory?
would this help, or only "speed" is important in this computer for me now?

best regards,
Tansel
