I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised that 64 bit processors running 
in 32 bit mode could somehow virtualize up to a 4GB chunk of memory for 
their own use.  But I should think that would entail multiple instances 
of Windows with each running on their own processor.  I haven't paid any 
attention to Intel machine architecture in about 10 years.  Probably too 
complicated for me now.
