Having converted my computer to a 64 bits Windows 7 from an old 32-bits Windows XP,  I installed and tried using 3ds max 64 bits version.  I was using the 32 bit 3ds max version before on a 32 bit windows XP and was doing fine until I used a 3ds max 2010 64 bit version installed on my girlfriend's laptop running on windows 7. I immediately noticed a difference between using the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version and it actually amazed me.

I am one of those people who really tried to save up on memory while using 3ds max by constantly checking up on the polygon count and then checking on my rendering settings, which was set to the V-Ray rendering system.  I also look at 3ds max's memory usage on the status window while it renders the scene.
