Windows and extra RAM?



 [I know this is list is *NIX-based, but there is enough Windows-based 
knowledge for this kind of question] 

I have been asked to install Windows XP (32-bit) on a brand new 32 GB RAM 
system.   Since XP can only address up to 4 GB [1], does the rest of the RAM go 
to  waste, or is it actually used in other ways? 

It also has 2 quad-core processors, if that makes any difference. 

Thanks.
