"the memory limit for flat addressing in IA32 is 4GB, not 64GB."

For flat it is true, but my point was that it should
not be a big difference for segmented model, at least
no for reasons you stated in your posts. Also, the
physical memory limit is bounded mostly by chipset.
The older 860 Rambus chipset for Xeos was 4GB limited,
but newer 7500 DDR chipset supports 16GB.
