memory.limit(4000)

Note that this assumes that you are either working on a Unix variant 
that will be able to address this much RAM, or if you are on Windows, 
you have made your R 'Large Address Aware'. On 'stock' windows versions 
of R you will not usually be able to address more than ~2 Gb RAM.

Best,

Jim
