I have heard that SAS can only handle 16GB of RAM on a laptop/PC and that anything above that is really useless when running SAS. Is this correct?</P> <P>Kind regards,</P> <P>Per</P> Wed, 13 Jul 2016 20:43:32 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Max-RAM-for-SAS/m-p/284191#M8101 PerNielsen 2016-07-13T20:43:32Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Max-RAM-for-SAS/m-p/284202#M8102 No, unless you are using an outdated Windows version. <BR />What kind of operations are planninG to do, and what size is your data?

There are memory settings in SAS that may limit the amount of memory SAS uses per session but these can be changed to suit the memory size and performance considerations of your computer (PC or server). &nbsp;</P> Thu, 14 Jul 2016 01:37:50 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Max-RAM-for-SAS/m-p/284230#M8105 SASKiwi 2016-07-14T01:37:50Z
