Statalisters -

I am currently running the Windows version of STATA on a PC with 2GB of RAM, but need more memory to handle a very large data set. I am preparing to purchase a Unix version of STATA.

I have two machine options at our University. First, there is a Sun Microsystems Enterprise 4500 with 8 UltraSPARC-II Processors and 8 GB RAM running Solaris 8. Will STATA be able to utilize the full 8 GB of this machine?

My second option is a set of Unix machines that are in a cluster. Is STATA scalable so that it can make use of several CPUs in a cluster or must in run on a single machine?

Thanks,
Tim
