This is not true. This has nothing to do with which games are compatable or not. This is an Operating System, ONLY, modifier.

In fact, this will only help games like Crysis, which require an enormous amount of system resources. If those games are still crashing, after using the /3GB switch, then your system either still needs to be tweaked or you have other issues, preventing them from playing correctly.

This essentially allows programs to use more of the virtual memory, while limiting the OS to a specific size; though it is limited, it is PLENTY of space for the OS.

You can read more bout it on the MSDN Library web pages.
