I'm pretty sure Maxima has no limits on memory usage.  If there are
limits, it is from the underlying Lisp.  It sounds like you're using gcl
on Windows.  Perhaps you can try ccl (http://clozure.com) or maybe
clisp.  I know Maxima works fine with ccl on Mac OS X.  It probably
works fine on Windows too.  (I've never tried Maxima on windows, so I
don't know the state of Maxima and Lisp on Windows.)
