I found that Shredder 7.04 seems to love more ram. I was testing shredder 7.04
against other programs with 256 mb each of ram. When I jumped to testing each
program with 512 mb of ram Shredder had a nice jump in elo.

The problem is I have no clue if Shredder 7.04 was doing better because more ram
helped it more then other programs, or was due to the ram hurting the other
programs more. :)
