This problem is well known, and of fading interest to most. Start at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_GB_barrier

If your OP arises out of curiosity, I think that should deal with it.
If you're inconvenienced over it, then it's probably time to retire
or repurpose the hardware. In any case, it looks overdue for a
software upgrade to at least buster, unless something specific is
holding you back.
