How big is the hard drive in your PC? I'd wager a lot larger than the
RAM can be. ;-)
The SD is going to be handled through interfaces that enable much larger
range than the physical memory limitations of the CPU.
I run a 2GB SD in my Zaurus (C760) and GP2X - both ARM-based devices -
without issue.

From the Wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card#SD_and_SDHC_-_compatibility
"SD and SDHC - compatibility
A new SD format, SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity), allows
capacities in excess of 2GB (4GB to 32GB)[5]. SDHC uses the same form
factor as SD, but the SD 2.0 standard in SDHC uses a different memory
addressing method (sector addressing vs byte addressing[6])."
So it appears that it's all up the the controller chip in the reader?
