The OS must supports this feature to be able to break that boundary.<br>Of course, 64bit CPU's have a limit of 16EB. Whilst 16 isn't a high number, the EB follows Mega, Giga, Terra, Peta, and then Exa. Now it's a huge.

In theory, 64-bit would allow memory up to 16 exabytes. So if the move to a 128-bit architecture is going to be reached, there would need to be significant performance benefits to make the cost of 128-bit chips worthwhile.
