Hello, I have several very large data sets (1-7 million observations, sometimes hundreds of variables) that I'm trying to work with in R, and memory seems to be a big issue. I'm currently using a 2 GB Windows setup, but might have the option to run R on a server remotely. Windows R seems basically limited to 2 GB memory if I'm right; is there the possibility to go much beyond that with server-based R? In other words, am I limited by R or by my hardware, and how much might R be able to handle if I get the hardware necessary?
Also, any possibility of using web-based R for this kind of thing?
