That will be R 2.10.1 if I'm correct. For reading in csv files, there's a function read.csv who does just that: los <- read.csv("file.csv",header=T)
But that is just a detail. You have problems with your memory, but that's not caused by the size of your dataframe. On my system, a matrix with 100,000 rows and 75 columns takes only 28 Mb. So I guess your workspace is cluttered with other stuff. Check following help pages : ?Memory ?memory.size ?Memory.limits it generally doesn't make a difference, but sometimes using gc() can set some memory free again. If none of this information helps, please provide us with a bit more info regarding your system and the content of your current workspace.
