32 bit Windows has a 4GB address space limitation because it is 32 bit, and 32 bit Windows itself can only see and use about 3.2GB if you have 4GB RAM installed. (On my old 32 bit desktop, I had a RAMdisk driver that could see and use that extra RAM, and had a 768MB ramdisk seen as Z: I found uses for.) IIRC, you're correct about the 2GB program limit.
I have Calibre Portable on a thumbdrive to handle cases where I might want to bring it up on a laptop or netbook where full Calibre wasn't installed while traveling (and I have a subset of my full Calibre Library on a 256GB thumbdrive.)
I would not try to use Calibre Portable on the 64 bit desktop.

I have no problems copying a smaller number of books via Connect to Folder and haven't really tested where the upper limit might be on 32-bit. I expect there wouldn't be any issues with 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Calibre either.

Out of curiosity, why aren't you using 64bit Calibre? Why restrict yourself to Calibre Portable?
