It is not boxed up and contained within such limits.

In the days of DOS, one was contained within the 640KB limit for what was
conventional memory, some authors were able to code an overlay file to
contain additional program fascilities, if expanded memory was present they
could load the overlay into it to speed it up, else it was simply read in
from disk.

Under 32/64 bit OS'es their isnt such limits as what DOS memory management provided.
