Subject: hash table settings; let this be the final word!

Ok. After all the threads of hash table settings, please let this be the end
all, be all of all these threads. I've read every one from the old formula
setting to the new set them as big as possible setting. Currently my hardware is
AMD Dual 250 Operton with 1.5 gigs ozc pc 3200 ram.  I've noticed that if I set
my table bases fairly low, 48mb for 3 minute games, the program plays very
strong. However, if I set it to the maximum, being 1024mb, it plays weaker. Am I
setting this too high? I thought there was no too high? Can we please set this
story straight.  My current program is Shredder 8. I'm mainly interested in
playing all time control types under 15 minutes. Ultimately I would like a hash
table setting that plays great in one minute games and plays great in fifteen
minute games, not different settings for every time control. Is this possible
with Shredder? Any insight is appreciated.  I am currently using Steve B's old
hash table formula because it seems to play the best.  Thanks.
