If it is a 64-bit R, it will take as much memory as it needs unless your admin applied some restrictions.
Some BIOS versions limit the memory the system sees. When I bought my Dell Latitude E5410 in June 2010 it came with BIOS version A03 and supported no more than 4G of memory. After maxing RAM at 8G I upgraded the BIOS firmware to A11 so the system can see and use all installled memory.
