$MaxPrecision

$MaxPrecision gives the maximum number of digits of precision to be allowed in arbitrary-precision numbers.

The default value of $MaxPrecision is Infinity.

$MaxPrecision = Infinity uses the maximum value possible on a particular computer system, given roughly by Log[10, $MaxNumber].

$MaxPrecision is measured in decimal digits, and need not be an integer.

See Section 3.1.5.
