By only allowing you to address your hardware with a 32-bit memory model, you can only address 4GB of ram. that's a huge limitation to the artists alone in terms of texture detail, size, and quality. It also limits how big your loaded portion of the world can be, etc.
Not quite. PAE can allow up to 64 gigs in 32 bit.

Anyway, 64 bit is not a magic silver bullet.

BTW, have you noticed a HUGE difference since the recent patch where beth enabled LAA? That went from 2gb to 4gb max memory usage by skyrim. As I recall, it mostly made a difference for people running memory intensive mods.

My bad, Dev: I was more referring to the 32hbit OS limit, as opposed to PAE. I get that 32bit is needed to support Atom, but what a boat anchor.

I can't really comment on LAA, as I upgraded my video card and cpu at the time 1.3 came out, which probably did far more for performance than the code change did.
