[R] memory problem

[Bos, Roger]

Doing so will also require using the Linux version of R as there is no
open source 64bit compiler to create a windows version (so I am told).
Anyway, memory is getting cheap now.  I got a 64bit machine from Dell
with 16Gb od DDR2 for around $4000.  Good luck.

Buy a machine that has at least 8Gb (better 16Gb) of RAM and proceed ...
