[R] Memory problem

[Bert Gunter]

Depends how you use it. e.g. it can be stored on disk and worked with
in pieces. Or some packages work with virtual memory, I believe.

However, it is certainly not possible to read it into R. In fact, you
probably won't be able to handle more (and maybe much less) than about
500 mb in R.

Cheers,
Bert
