Chandler, This is a bug in the program. Hiarcs 6 does not do this. Uncle Ed Schroder may fix this in the future. I use 8MB of hash and get a performance rating of 2548 on my NEC 333Mhz Pentium II with the selectivity set to nine and play style set to active or aggressive and combination set to on. Even though it sells chess programs you do not need 60 to 100 MB hash tables unless you have a teraflop big-iron monster. The RAM that we have(64MB), should be doing the hashing, not the hard drive. Yes you can operate DOS on 4 MB of RAM. Another thing that crashes the system is setting the EOC to "on" and running the three problem performance test. The answer to the first problem comes on at 4 seconds. This is four times as fast as normal--but then the program locks. So we have a buggy program that plays excellent chess on our systems. Don't we know buggy people that we love very much?
