This is what I found on the net.

x86		            2 Gigabytes
PowerPC		    2 Gigabytes
Motorola 680x0    2 Gigabytes
Sparc		    1 Gigabyte
MIPS		            512 Megabytes
Alpha		    128 Gigabytes
UltraSparc	    3 Terabytes

Resource: maybe useful.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong or read this differently.
