Hello,
I'm working with a very large dataset in R on a computer running 64-bit
Windows Server 2008 Standard with 32GB of RAM. According to the R for
Windows FAQ, the maximum value allowed for max-mem-size is 4095MB. Is it
possible to run R with a higher memory limit on this system? I've tried
changing memory.limit() in the R console but it claims the system has a
4-GB address limit, which I don't believe to be the case here.
Thanks for your help.
Mike
