Let's keep things straight here: it's a problem with Fritz, not his computer.

For instance: Fritz is playing the GMs on a quad machine with 4 gigs of ram.
I'm sure that in 10 years we'll all think that 4 gigs is peanuts, but today the
story is different.  Meanwhile, those of us in reality with a limited paycheque
will notice that other chess software doesn't ask for a similar amount of
memory, and send the complaints to where they belong.
