From the moment where you opt to a software to run in windows, it must take some cares, mainly with Windows 98. This OS keeps much memory RAM after its inicialization. This memory keeped by WIN98, added to the one of other programs that too keeps the RAM after the boot, can almost arrive, in some cases, after chessprogram run, 32Mb(!), and the program does not function. Example happened with my friend, in which computer had 32Mb of RAM and he had to incapacitate some programs that keeped RAM, to run Fritz5.32 with small hashtable. My conclusion is that, to run a chessprogram for windows in WIN 98, it is preferable to have around 64Mb of RAM, not forgetting that the program, for better permormance,needs eventually greaters hashtables. Some words from this? Best regards, Paulo Soares, from Brazil
