Future organisms will probably not be anything like as confined (in terms 
of temperature) as modern ones are.

Alternative technologies will most likely allow orgainsms to exist at both 
very low temperatures - and at very high temperatures.

However: today, I think the records look something like:

Cryptoendoliths: -15?C - and Pyrococcus furiosus: +113?C.
