no, as mentioned earlier on this list, the realistic limit is ~3.5G
physical memory + 0.5G virtual memory. I've been running such a config for
a while when i implemented the __PAGE_OFFSET patch. Take a look at mailing
list archives, someone was running a big memory 4-ways PPro system for
simulations, each simulation process was taking some 600-700K RAM.
