Terry,

The equation below is used to calculate the minimum hashtables size,
and it is in the manual of Fritz5.  I believe that it serves for the
CM6000.

	HT(Kb)=2.0*Pfreq(Mgz)*t(S)

	HT= hashtable size in Kb.
	Pfreq= clock speed of the processor in Mgz.
	t= average time avaiable per move in seconds.

Examples:
1. Processor with 200Mgz
   Control time=40/2- Average time 3min=180s

	       	HT=2.0*200*180=72000Kb= 72Mb

2. Processor with 200Mgz
   Control time= Blitz(5min)- Average time=10s(esteemed)

		HT=2.0*200*10=4000Kb= 4Mb

3. Processor with 400 Mgz
   Control time= 40/1- Average time=1.5min=90s

		HT=2.0*400*90=90000Kb= 90Mb

The program, in some moves, will spend a bigger time than the average
time, then I think that is always good to use a bigger hastable than
the calculated  for the equation above.

Best regards,
Paulo Soares, from Brazil.
