Hi Ron,

this link might be helpfull:

http://documents.wolfram.com/mathematica/Built-inFunctions/AdvancedDocumentation/LinearAlgebra/LinearAlgebraInMathematica/MatrixComputations/EigensystemComputations/AdvancedDocumentationLinearAlgebra3.3.4.html

or, in the help browser click on Advanced Documentation, Matrix Computations,
Eigensystem Computations, Methods, Arnoldi
