Even if you have a 64-bit
processor, you get none of the benefits unless you install a 64-bit
operating system -- namely, each process is limited to 4 gigabytes of virtual memory at most on a 32-bit system.
Naturally 32-bit OSX would have this limit too. Changing the OS without changing the number of bits won't give you more address space.
Try
cat /proc/version
