[R] large address spaces in R

[james.holtman@convergys.com]

I have been using SPLUS on UNIX to do performance analysis of our computers
and have some matrices that are about 15M rows with 8 columns.  These are
'integers' and therefore take up about 500M of memory.  I run on a system
with 2G of memory and will utilize over a 1G when processing this data.

I am considering using R and was wondering how large addresses spaces are
handled under WIN/2000.  I can get a server with 2G of memory and am
interested in experiences of running with data that will utilize this space
and if Windows will handle it.

Thanks
Jim
