Program likes to use 4M-10M of extended mem, would be interesting
to see this program on a 486-66 or P5 (pentium whatever 586 will be called).

The 3rd game was not close at all, GM Chess took a lead fairly early in
the mid game, and it totally dominated the board thereafter. Basically
a slaughter.
Just a bit of useless machine info. Hope I did not waste too much bandwidth.

How about seeing it on an (100+ Specmark) Alpha server running
Windows NT next summer? Would be very interesting either way.

"The perception that DEC does not have the I/O performance of an IBM mainframe
is a myth. Today a VAX 7000 has the I/O capacity of an IBM system, and an
Alpha system will increase that by three times."
