Increasing memory. Will 64bit linux help?

Hi,

I need to increase the virtual memory available to matlab significantly. I see that 32 bit operating have a process limit for each programme of 2Gb of ram.

I will first try and give matlab an extra 1Gb by using a 3Gb switch which increases the amount of virtual memory that programmes can acesss.

But I was wondering if using 64 bit linux might be a better idea. I am new to linux and 64 bit operating systems. If I installed 64bit Ubuntu, installed Wine (a programme that could run windows programmes) and then installed my windows version of matlab would I be able to have a much larger process limit? Or do I have to buy another special 64bit linux version of matlab?

Thanks

Ben
