I think you mean that 2 GB is the limit for FAT16. Windows 95a was the last
FAT16 operating system released by Microsoft.

The limit for FAT32 is 8 TB. This was released with Windows 95b in 1996. How
many of us in 1996 figured that we would have terabyte drives in 2008?

It is reported that FAT64 will support up to 16 exabytes.
