Question / Help 4GB Ram Limit for 32 bit?

I'm pretty sure it's a windows thing but I just wanted to make sure that the 32 bit version limits the RAM to 4g and that there isn't a way around it?

I used to stream PC games with 64 bit and was able to use all of my 32g of RAM (I know it's overkill but it's useful in certain areas)

Now that I stream a console game, SSBM, with my elgato i have to use the 32 bit version and my log shows only 4g of ram available. Just checking to see if there is any way around it. 4 is fine but I'd like more if possible.

32bit applications can't use more than 4 GB of RAM. But streaming doesn't use very much RAM so there's nothing to worry about.

like dodgepong said, 32 bit application are limited in address space to about 3.5gb memory, windows itself has nothing to do with this limitation.
