This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.

I don't know what OS you're using. Perhaps windows 98?

Can I assume you're writing code using a 32 bit compiler? By default, 32 bit pointers can address a maximum of 2gb of memory. This leaves one bit for housekeeping. Some linkers have an option to expand this to 4gb.

Still, if you only have 4gb, your program is unlikely to be able to lock it all for one program, as the OS and other services will need memory too.
