No.
but I would like to know more unless you can have a maximum size database to work with it in R (rows and columns). Who can help me be extremely grateful.
The addressable memory will depend on the operating system. WinXP under the best of circumstances may have 3.5 GB of capacity, whereas Linux and Mac OS (Leopard with 64 bit binary from ATT site) will be effectively constrained by your RAM budget. I am using about 1/2- 3/4 of my available8 GB memory when using a workspace that contains multiple models (which consume 150-300 MB each) and a primary working dataframe that has 1.5 rows and 110 variables. == David Winsemius, MD Heritage Laboratories West Hartford, CT
