what's the maximum excel file size supported?

Hi, I'm using UserModel package of HSSF to access an excel file. I would like to know the maximum size this package supports, since if I'm giving files greater than 2 mb, then I'm getting the error java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. Any sugestion or info in this regard would be helpful. Thanks
