Why would I need a single program to do that? Suppose I have a 6 monitor setup, use Adobe Photoshop (which easily eats 2 GB) on two, Adobe Premiere on two(there go another 2GB) and Adobe After Effects on the last two (there go another 2GB). We're already at 6 GB of memory usage.

32-bit Windows can address more than 4GB RAM fine, the issues are lazy driver coders and marketing/licensing, QED.
