Has anyone found any interesting workarounds for dealing with large textures?

Specifically, I'm interested in the cases of a few several large 2D sprites against 3D 
backgrounds at
very high speeds (preferably atleast 30/40fps on older machines with 3D cards).  I 
would assume
the most reasonable method would to be to load the spritesheet as a texture, and 
change texture
coordinates each frame.  However, some of the spritesheets are heavily animated and 
thus on the
order of 1K to 2K in pixels (both width and height).

Many older video cards I've tried have a limit of 1024x1024 pixel sizes, and I've 
heard some even
have 256x256.  Out of curiosity, does anyone have any good suggestions or interesting
workarounds?
