I having issues with my memory size in R for Windows.  I have implemented the
3gb switch for Windows 7 32 bit with 8gb of memory, only 4gb is available
for use due to 32 bit limitations.  512Mb is taken by the shared video card,
the memory limit is 2559mb yet I cannot use more than 1.5 gb of memory.  I
have searched eveywhere and cannot find any resolution to my issue.


> memory.limit()
[1] 2559
> memory.size()
[1] 399.47
> a = aov(data$cv~(data$Lo+data$La+data$Mo+data$Co))
Error: cannot allocate vector of size 1.4 Gb
> gc()
           used  (Mb) gc trigger  (Mb) max used  (Mb)
Ncells   726003  19.4    2251281  60.2  1677683  44.8
Vcells 37249684 284.2   93398451 712.6 93388743 712.5
> (1024 * 14) + 44.8 + 712.5

Thank you,

Chris
