Dear all, I am interested in using Mathematica on a high spec PC running Linux. In particular I would like to know if it is possible for Mathematica to access >2GB of memory, since I understand there is a 2GB per process limitation. If this is not possible directly would it be possible to use gridMathematica either over a cluster or on a single machine with multi-processors and a lot of RAM? Otherwise would switching architecture to Sun Sparc or a similar 64bit architecture help? Many thanks in advance, Edward Grace
