We need more details about your problem to provide any useful help. Are all the variables numeric? Are they all completely different? Is it possible to use `colClasses'? It is possible, but very inconvenient. There are mostly numeric columns, but some integer categories, and some string

Also, having a couple of gigabytes of RAM is not necessarily useful if you're on a 32-bit OS since the total process size is usually limited to be less than ~3GB. well 2^32 gives you more like 4 GB, how much of that can be given to a process my highest workspace reached 1.2 Gig. I will
