Greetings, I am acquiring a new computer in order to conduct data analysis. I currently have a 32-bit Vista OS with 3G of RAM and I consistently run into memory allocation problems. I will likely be required to run Windows 7 on the new system, but have flexibility as far as hardware goes. Can people recommend the best hardware to minimize memory allocation problems? I am leaning towards dual core on a 64-bit system with 8G of RAM. Given the Windows constraint, is there anything I am missing here?
I know that Windows limits the RAM that a single application can access. Does this fact over-ride many hardware considerations? Any way around this?
