Dear all

I have a Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise machine, with 64bit R installed 
running on 2 x Quad-core Intel Xeon 5500 processor with 24GB DDR3 1066 Mhz 
RAM.  I am seeking to analyse very large data sets (perhaps as much as 
10GB), without the addtional coding overhead of a package such as 
bigmemory(). 

My question is this - if we were to increase the RAM on the machine to 
(say) 128GB, would this become a possibility?  I have read the 
documentation on memory limits and it seems so, but would like some 
additional confirmation before investing in any extra RAM.

Kind regards

Alan
