In the PC world, the xeon can get to 32 gigs with a kludge.  A program
can only address 4 gigabytes on X86 however.

There are other machines.  There are plenty of alphas that go way beyond
8 gigs.  I have run on crays with 64 gigs.

one gig today is not uncommon.  In two years, double that.  Repeat.
