Dear R-users,

I use R to run spatial stuff and it takes up a lot of ram. Runs can take hours or days. I am thinking of getting a new desktop. Can R take advantage of the dual-core system? 

I have a dual-core computer at work. But it seems that right now R is using only one processor.

The new computers feature quad core with 3GB of RAM. Can R take advantage of the 4 chips? Or am I better off getting a dual core with faster processing speed per chip?

Thanks! Any advice would be really appreciated! 

K.
