At least that's what it seems to be like *now*. Back when 32-bit was introduced, 4GB limit seemed essentially unlimited.

It's a weird feeling when you look at a cell phone today and realize that you've probably got more computing capacity in your hand than what you had sitting on your desk only 20 years ago...
