Even so, most machines today performs multiple tasks, so 3GB limit per process isn't really that big an issue, unless you render graphics with a mono-threaded application.

You are assuming, wrongly, that apps will scale interprocess as they do for inter instances.

For eg: look at mongodb, where using it on 32bit is considered silly,

Sure, there are exceptions but my assumptions were on a general scale. So, if this is the case (which I don't think it was with the OP), then 64bit would be better. But in general, 32bit could perform as well.
