Although the "Maximum XXXMB"  are shown in this box the box to the left is
adjustable by the operator to any amount you like.  The actual hash tables used
by the program are not set automatically.  For most new programs setting the
hash tables to 512 Meg at 40/1hr will not hurt anything.  For blitz time
controls I never use more than 64 Meg and usually only 32 Meg.  Generally the
longer the time control.. the higher the hash table settings to keep from
filling the hash tables full.
Just my 2 cents.
