Per this doc on Microsoft's site the answer is 4GB:
http://www.microsoft.com/hwdev/hardware/fatgen.asp
-The maximumallowed file size on a FAT volume is 0xFFFFFFFF
(4,294,967,295) bytes.
-Similarly, a FAT file system driver must not allow a directory (a file
that is actually a container for other files) to be larger than 65,536
* 32 (2,097,152) bytes.
Time to use NTFS?
