Does Windows have a specific memory allocation size for programs that require lager memory sizes? Resulting in terminating the pogram

I am not sure if I understood your question well, so I hope this is what you asked rolleyes.gif
Windows (32bit) gives 4gigs of address space for each program, but your app can only use 2G, because 2G is reserved for the OS. So theoretically you are free to use memory up to 2G(data + code). Above that, you get an immediate exception or BSOD, I can't remember right now. Otherwise if there is enough free virtual memory available you are ok, else you get the exception.
