So you know, BCB is a 32 bit compiler which means that it can
reference 4GB so you could use a simple call to 'new' to
allocate the buffer.

That is not possible. By time the OS is up and running and
your application is loaded, you can count on that eating up at
least 100MB.

I would suggest that you just try to allocate 150MB and if and
when it fails, step down the size requested and try again until
it succeeds. This method will also allow you to have the
compiler loaded for testing but still perform at it's best
when run independently.
