the memory requirements of mri_glmfit are dependent on the number of subjects given as input, the greater the subjects, the greater the ram. but generally it is not a ram hog. compiling with system specific flags might improve performance, but generally not enough to be worth the trouble. freesur

Dhruman, If you can upgrade to 2GB of memory (or 1.5GB), that would work better. The memory resources of freesurfer can vary widely, depending on defects and such found while processing a surface, so with 1GB of memory, you are likely to run into out-of-memory problems that are difficult to debug.
