There is no limit on the size of information that can be saved in a Session Object. just only limitation of the RAM available on the Server machine.

and see this thread for more clearing up on session

[Rahul Bhattacharjee]

As the objects that you store in session live in heap , so the amount of data that you can store depends on the number of sessions and the heap size.

Just to clear things up a bit, what Saif and Rahul said are both true, although the way the responded made it appear it might be 2 different answers. ;)

The number of objects you can store in the session is dependent on how much memory you've allocated for the VM. The amount of memory allocated to the VM is dependent on the amount of RAM on the server(s).
