DJGPP can use all of the 4GB of the address space, but the maximum amount
of memory supported by the DPMI host you use is another matter.  CWSDPMI 
supports upto 128MBytes of RAM plus another 128MBytes of swap space, 
giving you upto 256MBytes of total virtual memory.  Most other DPMI hosts 
support much less: for example Windows 95 only lets you use upto 64MBytes 
of physical+swap.

Right, and it says exactly the above.
