AFAIK, no 32-bit OS supports files larger than 4Gb anyway.
False. It's solely a question of FS used.
NTFS supports files larger then 4 Gb regardless of version Windows
(Win2K+ or even earlier). It doesn't matter what the bitness of OS in

no problem.
And e.g. FAT32 remarkably can't handle 4 Gb+ files with any OS.
