My graphic card has 1 GB, and currently after expanding to 3x4GB, my pagefile is 13,129,252,864 bytes (12.23 GB) big. I read the MSDN article about memory limits, but I found nothing that would explain this. AFAIK with x64 there should be no problem.

Devices have to map their memory below 4 GB for compatibility with non-PAE-aware Windows releases. Therefore, if the system has 4GB [or more] of RAM, some of it is either disabled or is remapped above 4GB by the BIOS. If the memory is remapped, X64 Windows can use this memory. X86 client versions of Windows don’t support physical memory above the 4GB mark, so they can’t access these remapped regions. Any X64 Windows or X86 Server release can.
