I am assisting in the purchase of 64-bit Windows XP system for researchers who run R. These systems will have AMD Opteron processors and at least 4GB of RAM. I'd appreciate advice on whether there is a working version of R that can take full advantage of such systems. Milton F.

No, there are no 64 bit Windows versions yet. You'll need to install some 64 bit version of Linux on those machines to take full advantage of the chips. Duncan Murdoch
