Last I checked, google ran on farms of small cheap 32 bit boxes.
But 64 is already here.
They wont be hitting DB limits.
Besides.... with the proper architecture, I could easily build
a server farm that could handle DB sizes well above
the 32bit limit, *WHILE* only using 32bit technology.
Not that hard. So its not an issue.
Google is highly distributed. It doesnt HAVE to have
everything addressed in a single database space.
