st: 64 bit MACs and addressable RAM

[Jon Eckhardt <jeckhardt@wisc.edu>]

Greetings,

Processing time would be greatly enhanced for me in STATA if I could 
address  appox. 6 gig of RAM. It is my understanding that in general this 
exceeds the addressable space of 32 bit machines, and hence a 64 bit 
machine may be in order.

Has anyone had experience running STATA on 64 bit Macintosh Power PC 
machines? If yes, can you tell me the max RAM you have been able to 
allocate via the set memory command?

If you recommend other platforms, such as LINUX, I would appreciate your 
thoughts on that as well.


Thanks,

Jon
