Hi Min-<br>
<br>
Your problem is likely due to the manner in which the different
operating systems handle memory. With Matlab, the largest variable size
is determined by the largest contiguous block of free memory.
Therefore, even though your Windows machine has 2.5G RAM, the maximum
variable size Matlab is able to create and store could be much, much
smaller, particularly if you have several processes running in the
background.<br>
<br>
You can check the free contiguous blocks of memory at the Matlab prompt
by typing: system_dependent memstats<br>
<br>
There is a helpful web tutorial dealing with large datasets in Matlab
on the Matlab Central File Exchange

Hope this helps.<br>

<div>Hi experts,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>My
CNT file is less than 400M (32bit). When I used an iMAC with 1G RAM,
the CNT file could be imported successfully. However, when I used my PC
with 1G RAM, the loading was out of memory. So I changed to another PC
with 2.5G RAM, the same thing happened again. Thus, I am confused why a
PC with 2.5G RAM worked worse than an iMAC with only 1G RAM? </div>

<div>Thanks a lot to any help!</div>
