   OK - I see your POV.

   I was speaking in general terms - there is no need to worry about whither my hardware can handle an allocation of 2GB if I only need 32 bytes at any one time.

   To offer a different POV, the software specifications dictate the hardware.  If my software uses 100MB of allocated memory, then I need hardware that can handle that.  I rarely encounter a software specification that starts with a hardware requirement unless dealing with a fixed/embedded/mobile system.  IME, hardware requirements generally change during the development lifetime of a product for a variety of reasons (performance requirements, feature-creep, etc).

   If I am ever given software specifications that state that I need to allocate a terabyte of memory(!), I better come up with suitable hardware and an addressing scheme to handle it! Smile | :)

   Peace!
