The overwhelming number of modern "32-bit" systems are actually 36-bit in
address space.  You have to turn on appropriate options to use that mode, of
course.  For Windows that means running a server edition.  For Linux that
means turning on certain kernel options when compiling (or using a "server"
kernel for those distros that support this).  I am, for example, happily
using my full 4GB on a 32-bit version of Ubuntu.
