Hi, is it possible to increase the memory limit to infinite so that I don't need to worry about whether it is enough or not? In S-plus, you can do this by setting: options( memory = as.integer( Inf ) ) is it possible to do this in R?

You are on Windows, right? See ?memory.limit You cannot say "Inf", but memory.limit(4000) sets it to 4Gb which you won't reach with a 32bit machine anyway. Say you are on a 32bit machine with 512Mb of RAM, you certainly do not want that R accesses much more than 512Mb for itself, in order to prevent too much swapping. And that's what R chooses for you.
