Thanks Uwe, What is the theoretical limit for 32 bit Windows anyway?
BTW, --max-mem-size=2000M works (although maybe not all usable?) > memory.limit() [1] 2097152000 In R-1.7.1, --max-mem-size=2G *did* work (I get the same results as above). Jim James W.

Yes. 2GB is a bit more than the possible theoretical maximal value for a single process on 32-bit Windows. Instead, try starting with, e.g., "--max-mem-size=1700M" and you'll get > memory.limit() [1] 1782579200 Uwe Ligges > TIA > > Jim > > > > James W.
