My guess is that mata version of xtabond2 improves speed using more memory.
Therefore you could try working with -nomata- as an option. But if the data
is large, you will end up with the same problem... and probably moving to
DPD in Gauss or Ox will not solve the problem. Good luck, Rodrigo.

Subject: st: ram memory: microsoft fix does not work
Dear all,
the issue that I am experiencing is that, despite the 3,070 Mega of
Ram memory installed in my PC, the op.sys refuses to give me more
than 1.1Giga (set memory 1195m is the max it allows me).
This is a huge issue as I cannot run the xtabond2 estimations I need
to, since the system runs out of memory:
xtabond2_mata(): 3900 unable to allocate real <tmp>[35360,1049]
<istmt>: - function returned error
I have already checked the proposed solution in the web, namely:
www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/winmemory.html
and I already downloaded and installed the proposed Microsoft fix:
www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/WindowsXP-KB894472-x86-ENU.exe
This did not produce any effect. I tried with Stata Technical Support
but they were unable to solve this issue.
I also tried to contact Microsoft directly but with little luck.
Please note that I am running Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2
(build 2600) on a Compaq Presario SR1639UK with an AMD Athlon 64
Processor 3700. I am using Stata/SE 9.2 for Windows, Born 06 Oct 2006.
Please let me know if there is any more detail I can provide.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
