Computer Pentium 550, 256 meg ram, 9 gig hard drive, S-Plus Version 4.0

I am trying to merge a couple of large data sets and am having real
problems.  Keep coming up with dynamic memory errors, i.e. unable to
allocate 9 gig of space.

The merge is by one common variable.
The one data set has about 600 lines by 8 columns (1 text the rest
numerical)
the other data sets are 2.8 million lines by 6 columns, all numerical  (
I have broken it down to less that 500,000 obs) but still getting the
errors.  I really don't want to have to put this together by hand
but......


If anyone can give me any suggestions I would appreciate it.  Otherwise
SAS here I come.
