Hi Gordon,
Here's your answer, and from a very highly respected
Microsoft Employee. In fact, what Mark doesn't know about
compilers, just isn't worth knowing. His full time job used
to be troubleshooting compilers for Microsoft covering the
whole of Europe and Africa.
George.

The limitation is to do with the CPU address length which in
turn relates to the CPU bitness, not the OS.
Without hacking headers and forcing high loading of system
components, user mode apps are limited to 2GB on 32 bit (but
be impressed if you can get over 1.6 GB without a crash). On
64 bit, you are in the terrabyte range.
What problem are you trying to solve here please?
Thanks
Mark

Does anyone know what the memory limit is for
individual applications with Vista?
I believe the total limit for the 32 bit version is
4 GB, but have been asked is there's a limit for an
individual application.
Needless to say I've Googled and hunted the MS web
site, but can't seem to find the correct keywords to obtain
a result.
