While Edward is technically incorrect, the ceiling is still 4GB total

Note that even though
A 25% higher RAM ceiling is one thing, but it's a far cry from the
64-128GB
the "enterprise target" Windows versions can use (yes, some of
them are
32-bit but if you pay the extra $, you are allowed to use more
RAM). The
3GB per-process limit is the real factor. But then again, who
runs Oracle
on Windows? :)

Read the fine print:
Limits on physical memory for 32-bit platforms also depend on the
Physical Address Extension
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366796%28VS.85%29.aspx>
(PAE), which allows 32-bit Windows systems to use more than 4 GB of
physical memory.
PAE is enabled by default on XP after SP1, and all builds of vista.
Read the regular-sized print in the XP and Vista tables:
Under Windows, the 4GB limit is a LICENSING limit, not a problem of
addressability, PAE or otherwise. The 4GB limit is also in place for
32-bit Windows Server Standard editions. If you want to be able to use
more memory, you need to pay more money (as Charles already stated).
