In addition to only being able to run 32bit programs, at most you will be able to use applications that consume less than 2GB of RAM and your operating system will hopefully be able to use 3-4GB of RAM. The rest will simply not be recognised. The 3-4GB will depend on your motherboard.

Nothing, the computer will function normally only processing 32-bit instructions, as this is stipulated by the system. Therefore, the processor registers intended for 64-bit processing are unused.
