The memory limitation is 2GB, there is no real memory protection and only one core can be used properly. Even a 64GB X64 board will not remove these limitations.
It needs a new and incompatible OS to fix the real problems. You can speed up the processor as much as you want, but those issues will always be there.
No, you just need to run multiple OS instances at the same time.

As geit said. and with hundreds of VMs you will still have no communication between them like ARexx or copy and paste. And if a single program wants to have more than 2GB of RAM (or even 1.7GB) it cannot have it. and then all the other limitations. No Unicode in DOS for Shell and the filesystem and in the UI (only a few programs can show it and even these only very limitied). No AppIcon handling or drag and drop between the VMs. No common file system or Commodity handling. you need it extra in every VM or emulation or what you use. It even makes it much more complicated to exchange data than take the chance and finally throw away all the limits and make MorphOS 4.0 ready. but I guess we are not lucky to see it in the next five years.
