Julie,

I run SPM5 with MATLAB 7.5 R2006b on an intel Mac with OS X 10.5 with  
no problem. I didn't need to compile the mex files or anything when I  
installed SPM5. And according to our IT department, we use the 32-bit  
version of MATLAB and I don't notice any speed difference between  
running it on my platform relative to other platforms I've seen. I  
would be interested to learn how to run a 64-bit version of MATLAB on  
Mac OS X.

Rich.
