I don't know how exactly it works, but linux can go up to 64GB on
x86. You are probably restricted to 4GB per process though, because
the address registers are only 32 bits wide.
BTW, the address space has nothing to do with the size of the CPU word
-- the 32-bit 68040 had 64-bit address registers, for instance.

Oh! When I bought my mainboard here in Britain a few months ago, I
could have gone for the RAID option (which also includes FireWire as a
bonus) for less than GBP20 extra.

Look at an Eizo L685, you'll be surprised.
