Not even the restriction that a single process cannot use more than 4GB-something?

Due to the 32 bit addressing, you can't use more that 4 Gb memory at the same time.
I think you could create several memory mapped regions, each e.g. 1 GB and map one at a time.

Regards,
Manfred

Indeed, and that is what (for example) NT's VLM allows.
