I didn't know 32bit pc can use 8GB RAM. I thought it was limitted to 4 because of the 32bit architecture.
Each process is limited to 4GB (or a bit less in practice).
Virtual memory allows lots of 4GB processes. The Pentium Pro and Pentium 4 have 36 address pins and can address 64GB of physical RAM.
