> I am looking for a 4GB DPMI host, no virtual memory is required.

CWSDPMI r5's WIP supports 2Gb physical memory (and has been tested with 1Gb)
but access to more than 512Mb at a time is somewhat slow due to page 
directory faults.  Making it support more than 2Gb requires moving the
bitmap to > 64K in size and is a mess.

Is this for physical memory or for scanning the address space?  I'm thinking
about adding a hack for 4Mb pages which solves this problem - but it's 
probably not going to happen until February.
