[BioC] how to solve the memory problem in RMA if I want to get probe level expression?

It is pretty unclear to me what you are trying to accomplish. The RMA  
procedure consists of background subtraction (on a per chip level),  
quantile normalization (all chips together, probe level) and  
summarization. Are you talking about quantile normalization? And do  
you then want to do this on the probeset level instead of the probe  
level?
