1GB? Next computer I get I am getting 2GB if not more.

The more the merrier ... big hash tables for analysis,engine matches.
Multi-tasking between programs, working with graphics. RAM is cheap nowadays so
load up when u buy it.

Another thing too is why not buy a dual comp? For a little extra in the scheme
of things u can have something about 2X as fast for chess, maybe a dual 2800 MP
... an idea.
