If your system memory + video memory is greater than 4gb you need to have 64bit to take advantage of all of the RAM.

You can view the effect of this on 32bit machines from Task Manager and checking the total amount of memory on the performance tab, or by running msinfo32 and checking the Installed Physical Memory and Total Physical Memory fields on the system summary. If there is a discrepancy your system isn't using some of the RAM installed in your system.
