Rhino 4 is limited to 4GB of memory

I believe Rhino 5 will use all that is available.

Rhino5 comes in both 32 and 64 bit flavours. If you use the 32-bit version, then 2GB (sometimes 3, there's an OS switch) is all you get. If you use the 64-bit version then you can use up to 8TB, but that's a theoretical upper limit. The amount of memory you actually get is the RAM + Pagefile size. Typically somewhere in the 10GB~20GB range.

Memory allocation does not depend solely on physical RAM, Windows will start paging whenever physical RAM is full. It will get slower but you can still use more memory.

I think all i5 are 64 bits processors.

So using Rhino5 64bits (and WinD'oh! 64bits) should do the trick.
