Actually, practice suggests otherwise:
% uname -a
Linux pastel 2.6.28-1-686-bigmem #1 SMP Mon Feb 23 04:05:37 UTC 2009 i686
GNU/Linux
% free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 4148160 4018720 129440 0 41428 3293968
-/+ buffers/cache: 683324 3464836
Swap: 2097144 361292 1735852
%
so I can use all of my 4GB (except for 46MB eaten by the kernel) with my
32bit OS. This running a stock Debian kernel.
