The game's ''bitness'' affects how much memory it can use: ≈3GB in the normal 32-bit mode, and unlimited in 64-bit mode. 32-bit is fine for most players, but those with a large number of mods (or large mods) can experience <tt>OutOfMemoryException</tt> crashes. Changing the game to 64-bit unlocks access to all available memory to avoid that (if the computer itself has enough memory available).
