With a 64 bit OS you'll be able to give the SH4 game the use of 4 Gb ram, instead of the games 32 bit expected limit of only 2.
If you had a 32 bit OS the gain would be 1 additional Gb of ram. That's usually enough to see a huge improvement in the games speed and its overall process of keeping the "blue screen of death" away.
Having a 32 bit OS requires a special switch to be added to increase the ram usage. Having a 64 bit system, you'll not need to set anything additional. By running the app, and placing the SH4 ".exe" file into the "Large Address Aware", then setting the "checkbox" to enable the flag, gives the game the extra ram when its available.
