Re: Hardware Question
Hi, first with computers the answer today may be wrong tomorrow ;) However today IMO... Q6600 is fantastic value right now great chip and overclocks well... I would avoid the Q9300 it is not as easy to overclock and has less hash, the Q9450 is more interesting but the current price of the Q6600 is p...

Re: Backup tablebases
Given the data size - I would suggest an external HD? By default I never have only one copy of any important files (I normally get in a mess with too many backups :lol:). So either 2 physical disks (in different machines or an external disk), or Disk + CD/DVD or 2 x CD/DVD. P.S. I agree a system whe...

Hi Norm, are you running the memory 1:1 and if so have you tried tighter timings?

Re: non consitent names of engines in ccrl
Hi Uri, We need to look at consistent naming between 40/4 and 40/40 where possible... Often at 40/4 we deliberately split out testing without say egbbs to show any difference... All games should be played with egbbs and TBs where these are supported - we might changing the namings so we show 'no egb...

Re: How do I - create a Shredder Book?
Just incase anyone else hits this the problem was I had picked a DB of old games so no ELO info and Shredder needs ELO info for its book creation.
