No - each process in the operating system gets their own virtual  
memory space. As long as your image is not larger than 4 GB you can  
run the 32-bit version, but as many copies of it as RAM+Swap allows.  
Each one will see its address space starting at 0 going up to 4 GB.  
There is no "memory locations beyond 4GB" for a 32 bit process, but  
the big irons can run many of them.
