Recently I got a new Dell computer with a celeron 2.5 ghz processor, 512 MB ram and I istalled several chess programs, including Shredder8. I have noticed a strange circumstance which I suspect will be one of those computer oddities that nobody will be able to explain... the first time I execute the program after I start up the computer, the S8 engine runs slower than it does on the second and all subsequent applications, when it consistently runs about 25% faster, in terms of kn/sec I have reistalled twice and checked it out repeatedly; every time I shut the computer down, I know that after startup the first time I run Shredder 8 it will run slow, and all subsequent times much faster. This does not happen with other engines even in the same program. any ideas? eric
