ok well as you may already know 32bit machines always look to use up to 4Gbs spread out to certain areas of usage of ram unless told different.
Were as a 64bit machine will spread out the usage of ram up to a certain point.
So it maybe possible that windows 8 may or may not when optimizing the system usage assign more ram to certain areas of usage but as you say they were using more than 4Gbs then this should not come into it.
unless of coarse they didn't optimize the system to run ether 7 or 8 then the results would be dam near the same and totally useless.
