I like this one. Some times ago I bought a 512 MB memory chip for my desktop PC already with 256 MB memory running MDK 9.1. Before I turned on it I tought that I'd have quite a lot free memory. But unluckily, I just found I had around 200 MB free memory (Without this new 512 MB chip, I remembered the free memory is over 100 MB then). But when I run some matlab program, it used over 500 MB memory which is what I needed. So I don't worry too much about it now. Q.H.
