The game's ''bitness'' affects how much memory it can use. Since the game is normally 32-bit, it shares the first ≈3GB of memory with every 32-bit app on your computer. In 64-bit memory, it has unlimited access to your computer's memory.

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).
