Caveat:  the full-size, raw Blue Marble image was split into two 
26400x26400(?) parts, one for each hemisphere, but even then most 
programs wouldn't load it, even if you had the memory...it's been a few 
years since I looked into that, though, and I now have a 64-bit machine 
with quite a bit more RAM than I did.
