You might be able to, but Mono does assume in quite a number of places that you have a 32-bit address space. If you can get your x86 cpu to run in 32-bit mode with a DOS extender you would be fine. The problem is not related to memory requirements but to the horrible default x86 segmentation memory model. You could remove this limitation, but we are unlikely to fold these changes back if they change in any way the assumed 32-bit programming model.
