A 32 bit Linux will limit the amount of virtual memory per process to somewhat
between 2.5 and 3 GB -- for reasons of address bit restrictions:

  With 32 bit addresses you can only address about 4 GB and parts of the
  address space is reserved for other purposes (than heap).

You need a 64 bit architecture to have a significantly higher virtual
address space.
