It is not a limit of either - you must have a bug in your code.

32-bit Linux is limited to something like about 4G - I have personally 
worked with matrices over 2G in bytes. the ts7000's are going to be 
limited to the amount of ram you have installed plus the amount of swap 
space you have configured, which is usually limited to whatever other 
memory the board can see - with some fussing around this could be 
configured as an NFS mount over your ethernet connection to another machine.
