I've done it with 1mm voxels - it comes out to 1.21 million voxels in the mask for an analysis. It ran fine on my machine but it is 64 bit so perhaps that is why.

I've done .5mm^3 in macaques, but that only had 700,000 voxels, which
is less than a human processed at 1.5mm.

Human data (assuming LR is 160mm, SI is 149mm, APis 193mm) yield ~1.2
million voxels @1.5mm or ~4.6million voxels @1mm isotropic resolution.

I'm not sure what the time trade off is for the higher resolution.
