Would Like Some Advise
I've worked with a 16 Gb laptop of RAM and it's been plenty for me. If you need to work with larger data, I think you should look into packages like sparklyr, which is basically dplyr running on a Spark cluster. Hope that helps ! Duy

Does anyone out there have an opinion about Windows vs. Linux?
I?m retired so this is just for my own enjoyment but I?m crunching some
large National Weather Service files and will move on to baseball data and
a few other things. I?d like some advise about how much RAM and stuff like
that. I understand there is something called zones of computer memory. Can
someone direct me to a good source so I can learn more? I really don?t
understand stuff like this. Does anyone think I need to upgrade my wifi?
Thanks,
Philip
