The formula stated in Fritz's manual says "HT = 2 * 200 *
180 = 72000 KB = 72 MB. This applies to a processor speed
of 200; therefore, for a 400 MHz processor that total would be doubled to 144 MB
of HT.
The above applies to a 40/2 game at tournament level which I believe was the
time control originally stated.
