Dear Helpers of R, I was wondering if you can help me with a few question about the program. I was trying create an expression file from my CEL files and I came upon an error stating that I had not enough memory and to see help(memory.size). >From reading the help txt it seems that my max memory allocation has been reached. I am thinking, this is also why my computer freezes sometimes when I am running a data set that contains over 75 CEL files. Is there a way to solve this issue?
Furthermore, my lab is thinking of purchasing new computers because our PC are kind of old and we were thinking of upgrading to macs. However, before we do this, I wanted to know what are the limitation to R (ie. is it just memory or are there other issues) and even if we purchase macs with 4GB of memory would this solve our memory problem and be able to handle large amount of data sets. I would really appreciate it if someone can please help me out. I don't know many people that uses R at UCSD so it would help to talk to someone who knows the program. Thank you so much, Qin J.
