The Myth Around 32-bit SQL Server Instances on 64-bit Operating Systems, and AWE
"AWE in fact does nothing on 64-bit instances of SQL Server. But on WOW64 - Windows on Windows 64-bit, the subsystem of Windows x64 that allows you to run 32-bit processes and instances of SQL Server, AWE does allow you to address memory above 4Gb."
Side note: AWE is now deprecated - removed in SQL Server 2012. The last version of SQL Server that supports AWE is SQL Server 2008 R2. Because of this, a SQL Server 2012 x86 instance won’t be able to enjoy over 4Gb of memory – even if running on WOW64.
