Actually, this looks like 32-bit Windows (unstated), so you cannot. See the rw-FAQ for things your sysadmin can do even there.

2. If you have 2GB or less then you have a couple options

     a) make sure your session is clean of unnecessary objects.
     b) Dont read in all the data if you dont need to ( see colClasses  to
control this )
     c) use the bigmemory package or ff package
     d) buy more RAM

Most importantly, use a 64-bit OS to get a larger real address space. (bigmemory and ff are mainly palliative measures for those whose OS does not provide a good implementation of out-of-memory objects).

Hi everyone,

Any ideas on troubleshooting this memory issue:

d1<-read.csv("arrears.csv")
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 77.3 Mb
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In class(data)<- "data.frame" :
  Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size)
2: In class(data)<- "data.frame" :
  Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size)
3: In class(data)<- "data.frame" :
  Reached total allocation of 1535Mb: see help(memory.size)
4: In class(data)<- "data.frame" :

Thanks!
