Garbochess v2 released

You only need to install the CRT of the versions you want to run. And yes, you can install the 32 bit CRT on a 64 bit system.

However, I got rid of that requirement by statically linking them in since it seems it was causing problems.

Can't edit my post . Well, I've updated the binaries, there should be no need to install the new CRT any more, and it has a hash size option.

Very good, I'll try it. Hopefully it will work for Graham for his amateur tourney.

Success
Both 32-bit and 64-bit engines work perfectly on my 64-bit system

I highly recommend using 64 bit if possible, the 32 bit version is quite unoptimized

Indeed - just ran a quick basic speed test on infinite analysis. On my Opteron, the kn/s from the 64-bit exe is nearly 80% faster than the 32-bit

Hi Gary,

Are you using SSE2 instructions on the 32bit exe? This will cause crashes on Athlon XP/XP-m and many other earlier processors.

I guess that amounts to about 40 points in real life games. Not too bad of a disadvantage I say.

Graham, have you perhaps installed a beta version of the CRT libraries? If you have, you'll need to uninstall that first before installing the RTM version.

You can copy the files from vc_red.cab (which should be extracted to your temp directory) as a last resort, but it should work just fine without the dll's in the same directory.

Thanks Gary. Works fine in Arena. Only problem is it uses
1414 mb.

Best to you,

Gerold.

Thanks Gary. You're a champion. Sorry for grizzling so loudly.

Regards, Graham.

No problem . So the new binaries work for you?
