I suppose that you are referring to physical memory.  The Win7 virtual memory limit would be much higher.  Statistics can use more than the physical memory, but swapping will increase.  However, it would be very unusual for Statistics to consume memory in such quantities.  Most procedures do not keep the case data in memory.  Time series procedures are an exception, but they don't usually involve huge quantities of data.

If you really think that Statistics is thrashing due to physical memory limits, try observing the Statistics processes in the Task Manager, watching the page fault rate or use the new STATS BENCHMRK extension command to measure time, memory, and i/o statistics.

Our IT just told me that our Windows only accepts max. 16 Gig RAM. Does Linux
accept more than 16? Would SPSS 20 run on a linux machine with more than 16
Gig RAM and make use of it?

Sorry for the somewhat basic questions.
