[R] RE: Computer specifications

[Prof Brian Ripley]

Well, R likes lots of memory, so a 64-bit system with say 16Gb RAM and at 
least two processors would be pretty good.  (And is: I've used such a 
Compaq Alpha system.)

For most purposes a dual Athlon or Xeon PC running Linux with at least 1Gb 
of memory works pretty well.
