The leap in the upper limit increases dramatically for each time the bit is doubled. So to follow the trend, a 128 bit system should limit out at what?

From -1.7 x 1038 to 1.7 x 1038 signed, or from 0 to 3.4 x 1038 unsigned.

Okay I'll simplify it. A very very big number and , if I've got my math right, the number is about how many seconds there have been in the history of the universe times 70000000000000000000.
