The 3gb switch does what I quoted above (and is, IMHO, worthless, but ymmv). The 4gb patch patches 32-bit executables to allow them to access 4GB of virtual memory on 64-bit machines. Try it - it backs up your exe file so if you don't like it you can easily revert back.
That's precisely what I thought and was hoping to have confirmed

I've grabbed it from here:
