I believe recent versions of R on Windows automatically set memory.limit to
the size of physical memory.  For instance, on my 512m machines a
plain-vanilla install of R 1.6.1 returns

Also note these recent changes :

http://www.r-project.org/nocvs/mail/r-announce/latest/0070.html

R-1.6.0 is released 

o Command-line flags to set memory can now use the suffix `G' 
        for gigabytes. The setting of maximum vsize is now only 
        limited by the platform's address space. 

o Internally memory sizes and counts of cons cells are now stored 
        in unsigned longs. This allows memory limits to be set and 
        objects created in the range 2-4Gb on 32-bit platforms, and 
        allows 64-bit platforms to use much larger amounts of memory.
