4 sticks of ram x 16 ram slots = 64gb

ok, so......what's the max on a 64 bit system? My motherboard only supports 2 Gb, but it was an early version(granted, it's not true 64 bit, AMD Athlon 64, but still ) .
Couldn't we just upgrade the memory controller, or is that embedded in the CPU???
Still, Im seeing a lot of applications for this, mostly math and graphic heavy apps, but still, I give it 5 to 7 years before something like that is standard in homes, what with IBM's advancement and all.
