You tried to boot your chessprogram with 64 mb hash too at a 128 mb machine? this feature you describe NT has at 32mb computers too. NT works at a 16 mb laptop actually. nt 4.0 sp5 However if you install it at a bigger machine, then i'm interested in: how many hashtables can my program search with. At NT 4.0 sp5 that's (without IE 4.0 integrated) exactly 100mb. at win2000 rc2/rc3 that was 60 mb, WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT OTHER 68 mb ?
