How much virtual memory does your computer have?

No, the array index used affect the maximum size. I suggest you read:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Ada_Programming/Types/array

and consider what would happen if "Index_Range" is of type
Long_Long_Integer and if you computer has enough memory to hold such a
beast.

PS: There is no "GNAT 2005" - There is

1) "GNAT GPL 2005" which is 3 releases old - the current release is GNAT
GPL 2007-2
2) Ada 2005: which is a standard and as such puts no restriction or
arrays size whatsoever.
