[SciPy-User] Problem with handling big matrices with Windows

Hi,

Your arrays have more than 800 millions entries, so even with floats
or int32, that means more than 3GB, meaning only one would fit in the
process memory.
You _have_ to switch to a 64bits Python and hope you have enough RAM as well.

Cheers,

Matthieu
