Paul: If you want GRASS to use more than 3.5GB of RAM, then you need to run a 64 bit operating system. Otherwise, no single application will get to see more than 4GB. Also check your motherboard's manual to see how much RAM it supports. Often, there are limits of 16, 32 or 64GB total. If you

The last time I checked, MingGW-64 was still quite unstable, although I don't know if that has changed since. [...] It seems a safer bet to me that MingGW-64 will mature soon enough. AFAIK the R Project for Statistical Computing [1] ships windows-64bit-binaries built upon MingGW-w64 [2]. [1]
