32bit vista enforces 3.25GB of RAM max. You need a 64bit OS or something enterprise level (ie windows server) to get more than 4GB of usable address space.

Yes. You'll need a 64bit version of Windows...

Yes you do need 64-bit. You can order the alternative media from Microsoft at $10.00. Vista x64 is much better than XP x64.
