Amount of memory under different OS

Your best bet currently is probably some flavor of Linux for x86-64
(assuming you are buying a box with AMD64 or EM64T chip).  Personally I've
had good experience with SUSE SLES8/9 and Fedora FC3.

Even though 64-bit Windows might be out `soon'
(http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=22246), I believe it's lacking the
64-bit compilers for building R.

Hi,
I have a problem: I need to perform a very tough analysis, so 
I would like
to buy a new computer with about 16 GB of RAM. Is it possible 
to use all
this memory under Windows or  have I to install other OS?
Thanks,


                          Marco
