Did I hit the limit of 32 bit?

My sets are usually pretty big, having a lot of stuff like East Wests Hollywood Strings with the 'powerful system' presets running.
When it comes to external VST, I can at least get around the limitations of 32 bits by using jbridge, which does the trick really well.
But when I am near the RAM limit and want to add Live internal stuff, it tends to break. For example, if I have a pretty loaded set with, say, 30 channels and add a Max4Live instrument, it does get added. But when I try to play a note, the synth or whatever it is plays it back with a sort of ringing as if the latency is too small and the computer is too slow. But this isn't the case. I tried it with several sound cards, internal and external. And I'm pretty certain that my computer is not slow, but it might be the cause of the problem?
Personally I don't think so though. I have an i7 2600k and I'm pretty sure that Live does like that processor very much. I have 32 gigs of RAM, but I 've never heard about issues due to too much ram.
I really love Max4Live, but this is a serious issue... and I hope it's "merely" the limitations of 32 bit, which will hopefully vanish with an eventual release of Ableton Live 9 in 2130.
TL;DR My sets tend to get so big in RAM usage that I easily break Max4Live, making it emit ringing noises over the actual sound. Anyone know why?
