Maximum RAM supported by MacOS Sierra?

Did they bump up the maximum memory (RAM) limit for MacOS Sierra? Last I knew it was capped at 128GB. In Lion the limit was 96GB and in Mavericks it was raised to 128GB. I'm wondering if the limit was raised again in Yosemite, El Capitan, or Sierra.

Mac Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.1)

Or you could just use 2 128TB Simms. LOL

I'm sure I could still get TextEdit to run. 😀

I wonder how big of a fork lift you'd need to pick one up? 😉 You'd probably need a crane.

It's a theoretical field. 🙂
