How large are the memory blocks that you try to allocate.

There is a difference between the total amount of memory you can 
allocate, and the maximum size of a single block of memory that you can 
allocate. The latter is much smaller than the former, because the 
address space gets divided in multiple parts due to where the program 
gets loaded, where dll's get loaded and where the kernel gets mapped.
