  Currently probably none since no-one has had more memory than that
available (it's possible that someone has made scenes which use more
than 4GB in some older 64-bit unix systems, but unlikely, since these
systems are usually not all that fast, unless you are using a Cray or
something).

  However, it's not that hard to imagine a scene using that much
memory. Imagine a big city with hundreds of thousands of detailed
models and hundreds of thousands of detailed uv-mapped image maps
on them.
