How can I enable my 32-bit Delphi application to use 4gb of memory on 64-bit windows (via Wow64.exe)?

According to this MSDN page: WOW64 enables 32-bit applications to take advantage of the 64-bit kernel. Therefore, 32-bit applications can use a larger number of kernel handles and window handles. However, 32-bit applications may not be able to create as many threads under WOW64 as they can when running natively on x86-b...

I keep running into all sorts of nuances between the "web site project" versus "web application project" - here is the latest for me: I've inherited a Visual Studio 2005 solution with several class library projects (a DAL.dll, a Biz.dll, etc.) but this is all "fronted" by a web site project rather than a web app project.
