On 64-bit systems the usable value is higher, but probably not as high as the 9 exabytes (if I count correctly) boasted by Lifepillar's Vim (which is about half the maximum unsigned integer expressible in 64 bits). On modern systems (where there is enormously much more memory than the 640 KiB of 16-bit Dos systems) the Vim default is half the size of the RAM. It seems that on Lifepillar's system, when Vim asks how much RAM there is, the systems answers 2^64 - 1 bytes i.e. 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF, or something close to that.
