[Eeglablist] 64 Bit EEGLAB / 64 Bit Matlab / 64 Bit Linux

Using more RAM should solve your problems, although you could as well  
resample your data.
For 64-bit, we have been using Fedora core for 4 years and it works  
well (Fedora core 10). The Redhat distribution also works.
Installing Matlab on Linux can be a (big) pain though especially if  
you have a distributed license. Although I am a Linux fan, if you do  
not have a system administrator who can help you, maybe Windows 64-bit  
is a better option (Matlab also runs on Windows 64-bit; there are a  
couple of tweaks that a user just sent us to make EEGLAB work and we  
will fix that this week).

Kind regards,

Arno
