Is there any way to set a certain amount of RAM for a program so that it can load faster? (Only when it's running though.)



None.

You can buy more RAM so that it will take what it needs to run full speed. Other than that, I don't know.



None.

A program will take as much RAM as it needs if it's available, however, I believe it is possible to change the amount of CPU usage given to a certain program, but other than setting it to Realtime or something like that in Task Manager, I don't know how to really set that.



None.

Specifically give RAM to a program isn't possible since they will take what's available. If you want a certain program to get everything you have just don't run other programs or at least start them last.
However there's programs that can free up currently unused RAM because many programs reserve RAM and don't free it up when it's unused. Can't recommend a certain one, but there's plenty. Just start by googling for "free up RAM freeware".

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
