The amount of space needed for that much RAM in 32GB modules could fill up a football field from turf to the "roof" and possibly then some. As you can see with 64-bit OSes and CPUs, they can handle up to 16 EXOBYTES.

Just like when we discuss things, usually we dump things that are irrelevant or no longer needed from our consciousness into long-term memory to free up space for more common and important things, Computers do the same with textures, code, models and other data. RAM can be thought of as the computer's Working Memory. The way a computer works with data on HDDs is that the CPU calls data to be loaded into RAM. Not to mention that 32-bit applications are prone to crashes, freezes and in games like Sims 3, prone to lag and stuttering, due to constantly having to call files in and out of RAM.

It's also why it's not wise to buy a old PC for gaming, because Unless you're able and willing to upgrade the CPU and OS to 64-bit architecture, you need to buy a new computer. Most games are made with solely 64-bit executables because games have become progressively more and more demanding, requiring almost always more RAM than 32-bit CPUs and OSes can detect. That's also why 32bit OSes can only see 2GB, because that's all they can see. 32-bit programs, unless PAE (Physical Address Extension) flags are enabled upon execution, can only access 2GB of RAM, with PAE, it's 3 GB. 64-bit is that of performance, capability and reliability. There is work being done by pepoluan () on creating a 64-bit "shell" for Sims 3, however, It's a work in progress and not yet released. WoW64 for instance converts AMD64/x86-64 system calls from compatible with x86 (32-bit) system calls made by 32-bit applications.īy default, this subsystem of Windows is enabled, mainly because many unported 32-bit components of 64-bit windows rely on it. Most 64-bit operating systems have 32-bit compatibility layers, such as Windows with WoW64 (Windows on Windows 64-bit). This is a old thread, but for the sake of future reference (because it shows up in Google Results)
