If you ditch all but the 10-or-so vars you need, your data is about 15.7Gb (assuming it's all numeric) uncompressed. Enough to even keep the whole thing in core.

I've processed 500M datasets with much less memory. Ok, it takes a while (I speak fluent Mandarine Chinese now), but it works.
 
Cheers!!

/What for crying out loud are you doing which would conceivably require more
