Import LARGE file limit

I am trying to import a text file with 2 billion records (about 45gb of data). I know I am crazy but wanted to try. It ONLY ??? gets to 62 million records. This is on Leopard. using FM 9.03. Plenty of disk space also. Any ideas?

It could be lots of things. I'd start by increasing FM Pro's cache setting (in Preferences, under Memory). I think the default is 8MB; double it and see what happens.

Importing 45GB of data will take some time: is the hard disk (or cpu) going to sleep?

thanks. I am trying to larger ram, but I am sure the hard drive isn't going to sleep. Will see if I get further with the larger ram.

Did you try what Vaughan suggested? He is not referring to the RAM, but to the Cache setting in the Preferences menu.
