Hi Eddy Did you manage to run tbss_3_postreg on the same data? It should have taken more or less he same amount of RAM as tbss_non_FA... I suppose you could split your group into 3 parts for tbss_non_FA. For each subgroup, tbss_non_FA will produce a file called all_<something>_skeleton These files should be less memory demanding than the all_<something> files, so you should be able to merge them afterwards when you get to doing the stats.
