This link has the details for setting up a 3Gb switch. http://www.mathworks.com/support/tech-notes/1100/1107.html#_Toc170182654. I haven't tried it yet as a think 64 bit will be better for me. But as long as your combined swop space and RAM is 4GB. Then you can assign 3Gb to the programme, and put up with swopping.
