With a dense representation your matrix will occcupy around 10^11 bytes, far more than Mathematica can handle. Possibly at some time in future the 64-bit version will allow for such memory usage. Suffice it to say that a dense representation will cause problems for most software on many machines. As for a sparse represntation, and computational speed, it will depend on what specifically you want to do. Mathematica uses some fairly good libraries for certain linear algebra operations on such matrices. If what you require is not well supported then you might need to go to some other approach, perhaps via MathLink. Daniel Lichtblau Wolfram Research
