windows 7 32 bid memory limitations

[AWS]

I've upgraded my computer from 8GB of memory to 16 GB of memory and still see 3.25GB of memory available. This is my desktop that runs on a 32 bid Windows 7 OS. I have a laptop running on a 64 bid system and it does not seem to have this issue. Is this

something due to the 32 bid and if so what are the options for upgrading to a 64 bid system short of reformatting my HD. I use my desktop to run Photo Shop, Dreamweaver, Excel, Word but no games so I am open to switching if it improve memory and performance.

 

Thanks
