Dear Jon et al.,
Matlab 6.0 seems to run under XP. I havenīt tested SPM99 though (since I do
either use LINUX or Win98 so far but have encountered some troubles on
Win2000). Nevertheless, here is Matlabs benchmarking on XP:
(i) AMD 1200 Mhz
(ii) 512 MB DRAM 133
(iii) 2x45GB IDE on Promise 2+0 Stripe RAID 0
(iv) ELSA GLADIAC 511 Ver.4.0
(v) Windoze XP
(vi) virtual memory as controlled by Win98 (sometimes I use the Rambooster
but not on the testing)
(vii) R12 (@present demo vers.)
Cheerio-
Andreas
