Hi,
Does matlab 7.0.4 R14 work on Windows XP with an Athlon 64 processor? I can't find a statement anywhere saying that it does, but I also cant find one saying that it doesn't.

Thanks.

Sigh... I've been to that site, but since youre trying to help, albeit in a bit of a vicious way, I'll bite back the urge to insult you back.

"MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2) provides native 64-bit support for the Linux operating system under the AMD Opteron, AMD Athlon 64 and Intel EM64T architectures."

So where on that site did you see that the answer is yes? If you can explain it to me, then I'd truly appreciate it.

You seem to be asking TWO different questions.  

YES, you can run Matlab in XP on an Athlon.  

NO, you will not get 64-bit performance, since XP does not support 64-bit processors as can be seen by the compiler versions used to build Matlab.

It took less than 30 seconds to find the information given Greg's link.

TTFN



RE: athlon 64 and win xp

Well, that'll teach me, sorry, I was misled by the "All OS" field at the top. So far as I can tell from the other links it should work in 32 bit mode under XP.

On the newsgroup someone called Felix is running it on a 64 under XP, and having graphics problems.

 

Cheers
