Photoshop CS5 Requires 64 bit W7?

My daughters PC has suddenly started to report "not enough RAM" messages when working with RAW files. The system has 8 GB of RAM but reports that only 3.7 GB are in use. Someone on one of her photo forums said it was because she was running 32 Windows 7 Home Premium and would require the 64 bit version to correct the problem. Does this make any sense?:\
 
Actually 32 bit programs are limited to 2GB of ram . RAW images are very large because they are unprocessed data. I can hit 4G ram usage for just one image. You need to install 64 bit windows then it will show the extra ram.
 
So I assume that I can do an upgrade from W7 Pro 32 bit to W7 pro 64 bit. Any leads vendor-wise on where I can get a 64 bit version at a reasonable price? Thanks.
