It is a 1.5 gb file, i don't know if this is big for mudbox
File size does not reflect how big the resulting data will be. So looking at file size to make any estimations is not accurate*, not for 3d files and certainly not for 2d ones. Also the file may be corrupted. You see it asked often but has no meaning whatsoever.
So drawing any conclusions based on file size is not possible. There would need to be much more info about to make any predictions of polycount. (such as wether or not the file jhas normals, what format etc etc...)

I am using xp 64 with 4gb memory.
Not much point in that, your getting all the bad benefits of a 64 bit system (especially xp64) and allmost none of the good benefits pump your memory up ATLEAST to 6 to even begin to consider non 32 bit windows.
- it can give you hint, but certainly the file may be full of comments may have extra data fields not used adn or may be somehow compressed. For cretain formats its impossible to say what the data compression ratio is i mean if i told you had a 15,5 kilobyte full color png file what would you estimate its dimensions are? Well this one is 10,000 pixels by 5000 pixels. it just happens to be a small file because the data's somewhat uniform at places.
