Yes, your R does not have enough memory to do what you are asking.
There are numerous email threads regarding Windows memory usage and R
on the R-help list (and a few on this list as well).

The 10,000 foot view summary is that with the current software, if you
need more than 2GB RAM, you are much better off finding a Linux system
for processing the arrays.
