How much memory can a processor use?

I'm getting a new comp with a Q6600 I'm hoping to overclock it to 4Ghz and get 4Gb of RAM. My freind says that at 4Ghz my processor can use 8Gb of RAM. This is becouse a quad processor can use twice the clock speed in memory, a duo half its clock speed and a single core half or a quarter (he can't remember). Is this true, can a processor use as much RAM as you give it? Thanks in advance.

I want XP Pro does the 32/64 bit apply to it, I havn't seen that in the specs of the product.
