That might depend where you are. Locally I have seen more computers shipping with 64-bit OS and 4 GB of RAM.
I'm in the NE USA, and when shopping for my daughter's machine, all we found in most of the comp stores was 32 bit OS's. It's is not that 64-bit wasn't available, but it's an upcharge for the shop to install a 64-bit on a specific machine when you buy it. Many people don't know enough about computers to ask for it.
The computer I just bought is available at Wal-Mart all over USistan, and has 64-bit Windows 7 and 5GB of RAM out of the box.

Did you use CFF to reconfigure the .exe files for ALL the games you have or just the last ep/sp? I believe for it to work properly, every .exe needs to be modified
Yes! That must have been it! Chandria thank you for pointing me out to MTS. I gave it another go and enabled LAA on ALL the executables. Afterwards i increased my 32-bit Win 7 page file to 3 GB. And after almost 2 days of playing the game NOT A SINGLE CTD! I stress tested the game by playing on lots with 5 floors in height, and all 3 floors in the basement brim-stocked with objects and textures and inviting over 40 people for a party. Not even a single problem. Then i saved the game during the max memory usage and it saved it under 30 seconds with no crashes. I saved it repeatedly over and over for about 5-10 times in that period just to make sure, and again no problems whatsoever.
I guess my problem was that either i didn't LAA all the execs or that i didn't expand my virtual memory since my last OS re-installation or both.
The game is totally different now that progress is saved and the time line is actually flowing instead of doing the same things over and over and wondering when the next CTD will be. Where EA has failed you guys have helped me big time, i owe you ;D

You're welcome, I figured it had to be some combo of both problems since you could play, but not save.
MATY is famous for fixing EA's stupididties. (Don't pounce! I intentionally misspelled that!)
