See here for more details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension. There's a limitation that every app can see only 32bit space but multiple apps gets it's own so together they can use more than 4GB. 64bit win doesn't have any native support for 16bit apps, there's just buil-in virtual PC emulator. Also you can have dual boot with Win7-64 and FreeDOS/Win9X/WinXP.
