Um no, you're not mapping 6GB on RAM on a 32-bit system. The address space simply doesn't exist.

Windows Server could use up to 64 GB for a 32-bit operating system. Individual processes couldn't map more than 4 GB, but the total could be larger: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension
