Buy more memory, 64-bit Linux works fine. Seriously, R is for statistics, 
so its memory management is designed for samples, even though very large 
samples can be handled when used appropriately. If your data are in a 
GeoTiff, you can read them by band using functions in the rgdal package, 
or equally well many bands in a window or tile of a larger scene. Note 
that ArcGIS uses GDAL too for handling some raster formats. Using R does 
mean thinking through your work flow.
