Computer Correspondence Chess

I am always playing some computer correspondence chess games, as I like to call them because of long time control settings: As a rule, the programs get about 12 hours max time to "think" on the next move. Sometimes this time gets exceeded but more often it does not take 12 hours to see the most sensible move. There is no strict time control: If I am of the opinion that the current #1 move is okay and I don't have the time to let the program work on the position much longer, I usually just hit the "Move" button of my Fritz, even if he only thought about it for an hour. But this hour normally is the minimum time the engine usually gets.

I am only using Fritz 6 engines, running on my AMD K6-III 450 with 128 MB hash tables.
