I think this game, without the patch, is limited to 2gb. It's 2005 32bit software.
If you apply that patch on 64 bit OS with 4 GB, 8 GB etc, it lets SH3 access more memory and decreases loading times. This might be useful if you are running Merchant fleet mod or something heavy.
One way to find out is to time how long it takes to load a campaign game before and after the patch. I have the patch installed, no issues, with GWX + MFM + other small mods and it takes 2 minutes and 11 seconds to load a campaign.
