I recently reinstalled "the plague", Vista 32bit Ultimate, with 3G of RAM.
Just checked: I can make it to 1600m upon startup, 1400m later in a session.
As the FAQ makes clear
http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/winmemory.html
Get more RAM, or switch to 64 bit Vista and 64 bit Stata. (Or avoid the
plague altogether...)

Charlie said:
Yes, I'm using 32-bit version of STATA (STATA10) and Windows.
However, the problem also happend with the same error message as when
I allocated 1G memory for STATA.
With my old computer (1G ram), I was able to allocate 1G memory for
STATA, but with my new computer (with much more ram, 3G) I can't
allocate memory more than 850m.
Do you know why?
The only thing I know about Windows is that it is best avoided like the
plague.
Perhaps Martin W. or one of the other Windows users on the list could
provide some good advice. They will probably want to know which version
of Windows you are using.
