Subject: Hash in windows significance?

  I have noticed that many windows chess progs don't use much hash.  For
instance CM5500-6000 are defaulted at 1 meg.  Even when you increase the hash on
CM it really has very very slight increase scoring practicaly the same thing on
louguet suite test.  Further, programs such as Hiarcs and MChess have limited
ram in windows(128kb).  What's the reason for this limited ram?  Rebel 10 allows
fairly large hash in windows, so why don't other professional programs.
Specifically is hiarcs 7 much weaker in windows(128kb hash) than running in dos
with say 28 megs of hash?  If so by approximately how many points.  Mchess it
would be interesting to know as well.
