Sorry, i ment of cource to the folowing -

int MySize, *MyBuffer;

MySize = 0.85 * pow( 2, 31 ); // 2^31 = 2GB 
MyBuffer = new int[MySize ];

I don't understand, where exactly is the problem? 

If i whould wrtie this - 

MyBuffer = new int[200]; 

there whould be no problem right? 

but if i write this - 

MyBuffer = new int[0.85 * 0x80000000]; // 85% of 2GB 

Then THERE WILL be a problem.... right?

So where does the problem starts? what is the limit size that
start making problems?

Please describe,

Thanks.
Dani.
