This is very incorrect. SC2 as a 32 bit application is limited to < 3 gigs of RAM (not 4 GB as others incorrectly state), but running it on a 64 bit system means all that other RAM gets used for superfetch, disk caching, etc. So while SC2 itself has no additional resources running on a 64 bit system, all of the supporting OS resources around it are beefed up.
