It depends on the OS.
32-bit Windows by default allocates 2GB to the application and 2GB to the kernel, so theoretically your application could allocate up to 2GB. You can change this allocation on some versions of windows by using the 4GT boot flags. Check out this MSDN article for more information.
64-bit Windows has much more, something like 8TB.
I think Linux in general has 3GB of user space, but I’m not completely sure.
