Can someone clear up a 32 and 64 bit question for me?

So I am looking at this mobo here (EVGA nForce 680i SLI NVIDIA Socket 775 ATX Motherboard / Audio / PCI Express / SLI / Dual Gigabit LAN / S/PDIF / USB 2.0 & Firewire / Serial ATA / RAID) and when it talks about ram it says 4 gigs in 32 bit and 8 gigs in 64 bit. What does that mean exactly? I know windows vista will be a 64 bit OS, so does that mean when vista comes out this mobo could theoreticaly support 8 gigs of ddr 1200 sli certified ram? Because that would be absolutely insane.

Thanks for the help.
 
yeap, thats about what it means, XP 32bit could only handle ram up tp 4gbs. Talk about insane my board can handle up to 16gbs!:eek:
