Sorry I should have read your post more carefully. You already have a 64-bit system w/ 4G of RAM. Stata 11 MP will not make a difference in the amount of RAM you can allocate -- it changes the # of processors that can be used for computation. You need to install the 64-bit version of Stata 11 (this will be an option when installing from the disc).

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.
