I am running a Dell Latitude laptop with a Pentium III 500 mhz processor and
128 MB of RAM using Windows 95 and S-Plus 6.
The data set I am analyzing has 86K obervations with 35 variables. Many of
the procedures which I use require sorting and/or use of "by" variables. The
processing time is veeerrry slow. Will increasing RAM noticeably increase my
performance? Will S-Plus efficiently use all the RAM I can install in the
computer (512 MB) or is there a ceiling?
Thanks for your assistance.
