I recommend trying a smaller problem on your 64bit machine. If you can't run 500x500 or 100x100 (or even 10x10), then I think the MemoryError is a red herring and something else is wrong. If you *can* run a smaller problem, then I don't really understand that, but it would tell us something. > I have the 32-bit version of fipy on the 64 bit machine.

It's not the way I usually run, but yeah, we do it and it works fine. That's on unix-based systems, though. I don't know if we know if there are issues with 64bit Windows. The 1000x1000 problem is reasonably large, but should be well below the memory limit for a 32bit machine (it used under 1GB on my Mac OS X machine in 64 bit mode; running in 32 bits should use even less memory.)
