It means your operating system is 32bit as apposed to 62bit. This is usually refered to as "32x OS" or "64x OS". In the most simple terms, 32 bit OS can only run things within a certain range (only with a value of 0 - 4,294,967,29 or −2,147,483,648 through 2,147,483,647 [which is a range of 4 octets/32 bit] ) therefore can access 4GB of memory (byte addressable) and 64 bit can run things within a 64 bit/8 octet range... However, most applications run on 32x so I would stick with that. You can check your OS by going to the following (in XP/MS 2003) Right click My Computer> Properties> If it say 64x, you are 64 bit, if it says no number, you are 32 bit
What else can I help you with?
Do you need 32bit or 64bit for 4gb of ram?
You can use either a 32bit or 64bit operating system (OS) for 4GB of RAM. 4GB of memory is the limit a 32bit OS can handle, this includes any memory that your graphics card has, so your computer may recognise only 3.5GB of RAM if you have a 512MB GPU. You will need a 64bit os that will use all of the ram.

How much memory does Google SketchUp take?
The amount of memory (RAM) Google SketchUp or any other design tool out there is using, is relative to the complexity of the model you are working on. Ideally, the more the better, but that is also Operating system (OS) limited: - Sketchup is a 32bit application. - Windows 32bit cannot address (use) more than 3GB or RAM (3.2GB, but w/e). Having more than 3GB (or 4GB, still you cannot use all of it) in a 32bit Windows Machine is pointless. Macs work a bit differently, so even 32bit OS can address more than that. - Individual Applications are not allowed by 32bit Windows to use address more than 2GB of RAM. - Windows 64bit, by default, run 32bit Applications (like Sketchup) with the same 2GB limitation, only that can be "patched", so each can use up to 4GB (64bit apps do not have such limiations, but SU is not one of them yet). You can follow the guide in this site to do so: http://maketecheasier.com/increase-memory-limit-for-32-bit-applications-in-windows-64-bit-os/2011/08/13
