memory problem for R

Here is the exact error I got
----------------------
Read 73 items
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1953 Kb
Execution halted
-----------------------
I am running R on Freebsd 4.3
with double CPU and 2 GB memory
Is that sufficient?

hw.model: Pentium III/Pentium III Xeon/Celeron
hw.ncpu: 2
hw.byteorder: 1234
hw.physmem: 2144411648
hw.usermem: 2009980928

thanks for your advice in advance,

Subject: [R] memory problem for R

Hi,
I try to use lm to fit a linear model with 600k rows and 70 attributes.
But I can't even load the data into the R environment.
The error message says the vector memory is used up.

Is there anyone having experience with large datasets in R? (I bet)

Please advise.


thanks,


Yun-Fang
