Subject: Fritz 8 GUI Does True 3D Affect playing strength as opposed to 2D?

Does using True 3D (Photo Realistic) as opposed to just using the 2D board make
a difference in playing strength?

In the optimise feature, the program turns of certain functions to allow optimum
playing strength. If that is the case, then wouldn't the True 3D, especially
when turning up the 3D board settings, like "Real Shadows" and "Reflection on
Board", which seem to use up more resources than the more basic settings it the
True 3D?
I find that the program slows down a bit when turning up these settings.

The PC I am using is quite fast with plenty of Ram
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ with 1 Gig of DDR SDRAM.

Any info, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brian
