You can only get an area of about 18km*18km at 1meter/pixel resolution into 1GB of video memory! However one would use mipmaps/lowres textures cause you are never going to see the difference between 4m/pixel and 1m/pixel at distance of more than a couple of kilometers. It takes a huge load off the AGP bus when you don't have to keep moving textures between system RAM and video RAM.
