You'll currently have to do it yourself. For large memory support you'll need a native 64bit version and for that a 64bit compiler. You can take a look at the mingw64 project, who provide instuctions on building gcc for 64bit windows and also provide build snapshots. From what I gather there, decent 64bit support requires gcc-4.5 which currently is still in development stage, so not yet released. Optimal CPU core support will basically require parallel computation. Octave itself does not make use of parallelism at the moment IIRC (anybody correct me if I'm wrong on that). However, some of the core numerical libraries support multi-threaded or parallel code, e.g. ATLAS or FFTW. benjamin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
