Default Pro Tools 10 and 4gb memory limit

How much memory can PT10 handle? Is there still a limit (on Mac anyway) to about 4gb?

if you are using HD or the CPTK, you can have memory beyond 4gb's of RAM be utilized for the timeline cache.....

The total memory for the main PT app will effectively be limited to around 3.5GB until the app goes 64-bit, hopefully sometime next year. Like Charles points out, you can at least offload the disk cache to a separate (64-bit!) process using the new "extended disk cache". This might buy you a couple hundred MB in your main PT memory usage, but I haven't done any testing to confirm that.
