All processors on PC are x86 based, but there is x86-32bit and x86-64bit.

No, that is definitely not the same behavior as 64-bit Windows would operate.

There are flags you can use to allow programs to access more than 2GB on a 32-bit operating system (/3GB option), or to allow certain programs (with AWE support) to access more than 4GB of memory on a 32-bit operating system.
These are more likely to cause you problems than to help.
Best to install a 64-bit operating system.
