Range[] works fine with large numbers of any range. try Range[10^200,10^201,10^200] But creating 10^9 integers, this means 16Bytes * 10^9 means that you need 34 bits space only for the list generated by Range[10^9], isn't it???? yehuda On 10/13/05, Murray Eisenberg <murray at math.umass.edu> wrote: > > Mathematica 5.2 under Windows XP on a 32-bit machine complains if I ask > it to form Range[10^9].
