You would need to have a 64-bit operating system. Or you would need to find a 32-bit OS that uses PAE extensions and doesn't artificially limit the available memory.

Windows XP (32-bit) originally didn't limit the available memory. While 32-bit processors had only 32 address lines, giving access to only 4 GB RAM, they often had 4 additional lines that could be used to address memory when in Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode. The extra 4 lines meant that even with a 32-bit CPU, 64 GB could be used. However, driver developers didn't quite follow standards and this introduced incompatibilities. So Microsoft limited the use of RAM using a XP service pack. However, it kept the PAE mode enabled in order to take advantage of certain CPU instructions which helped make the system less vulnerable to certain viruses.
