Amount of RAM that can be allocated. 32 bit OS only recognize 3.86 gigs ish of ram, which means a game has to use less. Xiv uses between 800mb and 1.3 gigs of ram. Depending on number of people loaded on screen. Increasing the amount of ram the client can use means more things they can add client side, in the forum of ui updates, and the like.


This is why 32 bit windows vista was awful. it required about a gig to run the oa itself, so pc manufacturers would put 1 gig in. Then people wondered why their pcs were super slow when they ran anything other than just the os
