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.

The kernel mapping *is* what gets influenced by that switch (among others).
