Thanks to the groups for all the replies and information.
I ended up putting linux on in a dual boot configuration,
loading fedora core 3 with 4gb/4gb split, and check out these
results:

IDL> help
% At $MAIN$
A BYTE = Array[1024, 1024, 2047]
B BYTE = Array[1024, 1024, 1700]
C BYTE = Array[1024, 1024, 100]
D BYTE = Array[1024, 1024, 50]

IDL> help,/mem
heap memory used: 4086996992, max: 4086997008, gets: 859, frees:
459

WOW! Much nicer than winxp. Check out a, damn near a full 2gb.
and then next largest size I could get was ~1.7gb. Both blowing away the
best i could get in windows. I am off to the races.

Again, thanks for all the responses.

Cheers,
bob
