Or can it be cross compatible and work the software as a 32x install? I don't know much about os's and RAM.
It's true that to get full use of 4gb of RAM you need a 64 bit machine.

As for campatibility, In December I built a Core2 Quad(Q6600) machine with 4gb of RAM, running Vista Ultimate x64, and I've had no issues running x86 applications. There are some apps which have install issues, but that's due to the mfg, not Vista x64.

EDIT: Just so no one yells, XP x64 had issues early on, but the Vista x64 release has been relitivily stable.
