Open big file in Gvim

Hi everyone,

Thank you for reading my post :) .

I have a very big XML file (which is actually a Wikipedia dump)...
its size is approximately 5.9 GB.
I want to open it with "gvim"...
but it looks like it can't open...

Have you ever had such a problem?
How can I edit it with "gvim" all the same?
Do I have to use another editor? If so, which one?

Why can't I open such big files?
Is it because I do not have enough RAM (I have 1.87 GB of RAM)?

Thank you for your help :) .
Sincerely,
