This is how I would format mine:

egtb
tbpath=C:\Chess\Nalimov
hash=24M
hashp=6M
cache=4M
drawscore=0
logg=off
book=on
book random 1
book width 2
resign 9
exit

Now if you have all your tbs in one directory, such as your C:\Chess\Nalimov
directory, you do _not_ need to add egtb there, as it will look for the tb files
in /tb. I have all my tablebases in D:\Chess\Nalimov, and there is my rc file:

tbpath=D:\Chess\Nalimov
adaptive 800K 12M 48M 6M 24M
cache=16M
log=off
show book
resign=9
kibitz=1
whisper=2
exit

The adaptive command is great because you can set a maximum amount of ram to use
for hash and hashp and a minimum at the same time. The 800K is the average nodes
that your computer searches. I just looked online after a few games, and saw
that 800K was a good average to adjust it to. It is only an estimate, you don't
have to be exact.
