One way to do this is as follows: Make a shortcut for Rgui.exe (e.g., on your desktop). Right-click the shortcut and select Properties. Go to the Shortcut tab; the Target field should contain something like C:\rw0901\bin\Rgui.exe. 
Add  --vsize v --nsize n  to this line, where v and n are your memory specifications. 

>From the R FAQ, "Boths options must either be integers or integers ending with M, K, or k meaning `Mega' (2^20), (computer) `Kilo' (2^10), or regular `kilo' (1000)."

I hope that this helps,
 John
