Opening large files?

'm helping another user open a large, 3Gb, file. The standard windows
editors balk, so I recommended VIM. Unfortunately, even vim crashes
after scrolling some amount. For instance, he can't go straight to
the end of file.

The work station is Windows 7, 64 bit, with 32Gb of RAM. Are there
any settings to modify to make vim more stable with large files, or is
there some Windows performance limitation and just out of luck?

Thanks.
Adrian
