I apologize for it sounded like i was second guessing u. And i am certainly in no position to do that. I think Ole Christiansen of Sigma Chess for the mac summed it up best when he told me to pick 32mb, 64mb, or 128 mb. He said assigning it some hash value was a lot more important than the actual value itself. Regards, George
