st: memory

["Hans J. Baumgartner" <hbaumgartner@diw.de>]

Dear statalist,

I’ve got new data that requires a lot of memory, i.e. >4 GB.

My system administrator told me that Stata would not be able to handle 
more than 2 GB physical memory and that each extra memory has to be 
virtual.

Has anybody some experience to share with "memory eating data"?

My aim is to get 4 or even 8 GB of physical memory but if my system 
operator is right, than we can save that money.

Thanks for all comments on this.
Hans
