The discussion wasn't about physical memory, but address space. Due to the  
discussed limitation, you won't be able to fill all of that 1 GB with  
small VirtualAlloc'd objects because you'll run out of address space much  
earlier before you run out of memory. Having more address space than  
physical memory can thus sometimes be beneficial (also e.g. for virtual  
memory).
