A 32 bit OS can address 2^32 bit memory location, which is approximately 3.3 GB. So in a 32 bit OS you cannot go beyond 3.25 GB. Use any 64 bit OS to access full 4 GB memory.
And regarding Video memory, you will get full of the Video memory available to the card, in your case 1 GB.

And will consume gigawatts of power, logically this sounds impossible, gtx580 draws 250w on a regular basis, two 580s should draw 500 watt, how can they reduce it to 300w?? Unless they go two 570s with reduced frequencies.

^^ They will be two gf 110 dies and probably will have full 512 sp's on each die. Some architectural improvements may bring down the power but how, only time will tell.

The same logic also applies to the 6990.

6870x2 awesome, just what the doctor ordered, 2.5GB GTX570? Not so much, architecture not built ground up to use a specific amount of ram won't benefit from it.
