Unless the applications being run are also 64 bit, you will still have the 4 gig limit per application. That is per application, not in total, so a 64 bit system runs faster from an application use standpoint.
From a Windows standpoint you go from a 2gig virtual ram limit per application to 8TB of virtual, which as facialfreak mentioned allows him to do video editing/rendering/processing at nice speeds.
