I'm looking to buy a new desktop which will primarily be used for
analyses of large datasets (100s of MB). I've seen postings from several
years back re the 'optimal' platform for running R, but nothing more
recently.
Specifically, I want to know: 1) if I run R under Windows, does having a
dual-processor machine help speed things up? And 2) is it still true
that R performs about as well under Windows as Linux?
Thanks,
Greg
