st: Re: Memory, Stata 10, and 32-bit XP
...
With Stata 9/SE, I was able to allocate 1200m-1350m under WinXP32 but can now
allocate about 1750m under Vista32 (with 4GB installed). It is perhaps the only
reason to think about switching to Vista (it does take a couple of weeks to
figure out how to disable all the stuff you don't want to use, and there are
still compatibility problems with some older applications).
I haven't yet moved to Stata 10 and I wonder if other people find that v10 can't
load as large datasets as v9 under Windows?

Dear all,
I am running v10 on a desktop under 32-bit XP (SP2),
Xeon dual-core chip, 4 GB of RAM.
I know that more than 2.1 GB can't actually be
addressed under Win XP 32-bit.
I've read
<http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/win/winmemory.html>
so I also know that I may not be able to claim
remotely so much under 32-bit XP.
The peculiarity I am facing is that I can always
request 1004m max, and never more.
<snip>
Now yesterday I installed v9 to implement the check
suggested on the FAQ page. The result is that under v9
I can exactly claim 1197m and never 1198. That's about
200 MB more than under v10, so in that sense it checks
but again I seem to come across a hard limit that
never varies.
