I just asked the same software engineer whether this is the case, and here is his reply (apologies for his abruptness!):
"Each application running is given it's own virtual address space by Windows. Nothing can 'eat up' another application's address space. When applications need more memory, they ask windows for it. Windows responds by giving them more virtual memory. A 32-bit application is limited to a maximum address space size of 2GB, becoming unstable around 1.5GB. "something is eating up your 32 bit memory" is simply nonsense."
