To my knowledge, 32-bit CPU can only address 4GB of memory (physical +
virtual).  However, if you run a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit CPU, you will need to
update the regular kernel to kernel-PAE version for the system to address more
than 4GB.

Search for kernel-PAE and/or visit this thread at CentOS for more info:
