Hes addressing 2Mb. Thats not even close to what I consider obscene.

Yeah - but once you go past 64K, any amount is really just "more of the same". The principle is the same - whether it's 2M or 20M.

Once you done paging, it's just a question of "how many pages?"

Besides, I know the technique name; I'm really more interested in knowing if anyone here has actually done it.

It's more than just a technique name - it is a well-established practice.
Most decent compilers implement some sort of support for it, and rolling you own isn't hard.

Although I never got into mega-bytes, I've done it on the Triscend (now Zylogic) - which has an external address bus of up to 32 bits...! Would that be obscene enough for you??
