I tried to put more than 1.5 GB, but operational system refused to provide memory. I've read about this and it seems that windows does not allocate more than 2 GB on 32-bits applications. Also I've enabled virtual memory, which seems to be set on by defaut in Stata 11. Unfortunately, it didn't work. > > I have a question: if I use a Stata MP 64 bits it would be possible to load this kind of dataset? > Yes.

Unfortunately, it didn't work. That's not what setting virtual on is doing, see: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2007-06/msg00875.html - Eric __ Eric A.
