The default ones. Just add another 1.5Gb of RAM and then consider using --max-mem-size, the only setting that will make any real difference. (The next minor version of R, probably 1.9.0, will make better use of 2Gb under Windows than the current one, so you may want to compile up pre-releases of that.) -- Brian D.
