Good to know - with DJGPP C, it is very easy to use up to 2 GB, but your mileage may vary above that: Of the 4 GB address space with 32 bit pointers, plenty might be reserved for graphics, BIOS, memory mapped devices etc. No problem if you are confident to be fine with 2 GB for the moment, although using that much RAM might also affect speed a little bit compared to algorithms which have a more compact RAM footprint depending on CPU cache?
