I have a question which might be misinterpreted, so let me explain it with a bit more details.

I know that a 32-bits application running on a 64-bits os will only be able to address at most 4 GB of memory (ram, …). What I would like to know and was not able to find by myself is (in particular) how much memory I may use from different sources. Or in other words, will I get, for example, 1G from the gpu memory and the remaining from the ram or exactly what I ask until I get to the 4G limit (so 239.83 M from gpu and 3.76 G from cpu) ?

Thanks in advance.

    4 gigs comes from the maximum value the a 32-bit word can store. So, each individual pool could contain 4 gigs. So yes, 4gigs from the OS, 4gigs from the GPU, 4gigs from the tertiary quantum gigglenator. 64-bit OS or not.
