Actually, there have been at least 1024bit computers build, i think even
more...


I know i know, they didn't use 1024bit addressing, but you didn't say
anything
about that :)

Though, why not 128bit, think about when we'll have computers like in
StarTrek - 
Next Generation, the whole known universe in memory! I'll look forward
to those :)
