Out of memory - How to change memory allocation?

I am doing image processing on Matlab R2011b, my OS is Window XP. Does anyone know how to set up MATLAB to get more memory for array and so on?

I did searched online but found no good help.

memory command gives me the following lines.

>> memory
Maximum possible array:             275 MB (2.881e+008 bytes) *
Memory available for all arrays:   1282 MB (1.344e+009 bytes) **
Memory used by MATLAB:              499 MB (5.228e+008 bytes)
Physical Memory (RAM):             3582 MB (3.756e+009 bytes)

Thanks in advance!

There isn't anything you can do except use the /3G boot switch, or use a 64 bit MATLAB and a 64 bit operating system.

Thanks, I use the /3G boot switch option.
