PSPP should indeed be capable of handling such a file. However please note:
1. I don't think that large files with CSV import has been thoroughly tested.
So
it is possible that there might be problems which nobody has until now
noticed.
2. Obviously, when dealing with such large files it takes time to read, so I
would
expect the GUI to be unresponsive until it is finished. In fact I would
recommend using
the command line interface instead of the GUI, which is always going to be
faster.
In any case, I would estimate that for the dimensions you mention at least
120 seconds
will be needed, perhaps more.
3. Whilst it should work on windows, GNU/Linux is the system which is most
thoroughly
tested, and for which it has been optimised.
Hope this helps.

I have a database in csv format with 11 million cases (rows) and 10
variables (columns), the file is 500 MB alfa-numeric. I can pass the
first steps of the import process, but when I finally ask for import
the process hangs, without any notice. I understand PSPP is capable to
manage such files (even larger). Any hint?
I am using PSPP 0.8.2 in Windows 7 with 2 GB Ram.
