There's no exact number for this.  The dump file consists of a header and
the physical memory image.  For a 2GiB system, the physical memory will
always less than 2GiB.  There's PCI address space and sometimes shared
video memory.

These days there's no reason not to make the dump partition 2GiB.  If you
have more than 2GiB of RAM you need to use the dumpfs version of os2dump
