I am running into memory limits and have been unable to write the correct code to increase the allocation size. Below is my output. I am currently running Windows XP with 2 GB of RAM. Windows Task Manager tells me that I have over 1GB of physical memory free so I should have plenty of room to increase. > memory.size(max=T) [1] 126066688 > memory.limit() [1] 1073741824 > memory.size() [1] 126033080 > memory.limit(size=1024) #Shouldn't this increase the memory allocation to 1 GB? NULL > memory.size() [1] 126033080 Thanks, Mark Mark W.
