FAT:
Volumes from floppy disk size up to 4 gigabytes (GB). 
Maximum file size is 2 GB.

FAT32:
Volumes from 512 MB to 2 TB. 
In Windows XP, you can format a FAT32 volume up to 32 GB only.
Maximum file size is 4 GB.

  Sorry for posting it in a strange format, I copied and pasted the
information from Microsoft Knowledge Base within Visual Studio.NET..
