    DAO is a very old game, on old x86 systems a x86 executable could only address 2GB of virtual memory.

    This restriction was brought over to modern x64 bit machines if you don't make the old executable "Large address aware". 

    After that the DAOrigins.exe can address 4GB of virtual memory.

     

    A explanation and the tool to do that whit "DAOrigins.exe" can be found here.

     

    Virus total scan of the "4gb_patch.exe from that link"

The version of the game on GOG.com was updated last week with the LAA patch being pre-applied, and the exe being capped to 2 CPU cores to increase stability.

But that's part of GOG's game preservation initiative, and I don't know if EA plans to release a similar update on other storefronts.
