Hello Chesscomputerfriends! I just a bought a new PC and I'm ready to make a lot of Enginematches (Pondern OFF) which will result in a kind of Ratinglist. But now before starting I am having some doubt of how much Hash Table size and TB Cache I should use to optimize the performance of the Engines. I'm using the complete 3+4 TB's that are included on the Shredder 9 CD and I have copied them to my Hard Disk (size: app. 30 MB). You should know the following of my tests and new PC: - I'm doing testmatches with 5+5 thinkingtime, that means an average thinking time of 10 seconds per move provided that an averagegame is 60 Moves. - Here are some basic facts of my new PC-system: Asus A8V, socket 939 Motherboard AMD Athlon 64 4000+, The quite new San Diego core (only 90 nm), 2.4 GHz, 1 MB Level 2 Cache 2 x 512 MB Corsair TwinX 3200 XLPT, PC3200 Ram, CAS Latency 2-2-2-5 Windows XP operative system The reason I bought these High Peformance Ram is that I read a review of my new CPU in which it was emphasized that fast memory is imperative due to the fact that the memory controller is integrated in the CPU. Hence, fast memory should make a real difference. Based on these informations; which size of Hash Tables and TB's Cache would you recommend? My sugest: 128 MB HT for each engine and 32 MB Cache for the TB's (or maybe 16 MB are sufficient??). Best regards Per Jørgensen, Denmark
