Important about some chess engines under Win98

I made a test about some engines with TaskInfo2002 4.0 on Win98.
I wanted to increase the hashsize to 128 mb hash of these engines but what a
pity that they did not go more than 2 mb:
-Sos 4 For Arena
-Genius 7
-DeepSjeng 1.5-not more than 16mb
For Example -Sos 4 for Arena by TaskInfo2002 4.0 under win98:
|Process| |% CPU| |LT % CPU| |Time| |Sw/s| |InMem KB|
+ SOS-4_Arena.exe 100,00% 72,04% 0:34 42 2.588
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
But under Windows XP Professional:
-There is no any problem with the hashtable of these engines and any hashtable
its possible to increase ...
For Example -Sos 4 for Arena by TaskInfo2002 4.0 under XP:
|Process| |% CPU| |LT % CPU| |Time| |Sw/s| |InMem KB|
+ SOS-4_Arena.exe 100,00% 72,04% 0:34 42 134.444
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So for ComputerChess is better Windows XP Professional !!!

Hi Sedat ! I confirm your statement
Can anyone say if this is a mere display problem, of if such engines are really cramped when running on Win98 ?
BTW WinXP home edition will do as well (and is cheaper than WinXP pro).

And on both GUI the problem was same !
