Interesting post from reddit about 64bit:
Maybe it's just the poster's hype boiling over, but the speculation is interesting. I'm sure folk here might have some insight.

QuoteAlthough one thing I haven't seen anybody really talking about is the 64 bit requirement.
On surface level this means pretty much nothing to anyone because we've oddly enough been running 64 bit Operating systems since 2005 when battlefront 2 came out. However, both games were developed with 32 bit systems in mind thus limiting them to 4gb of ram with out stability hangups.
If you check out the Steam page. You can see that the minimum requirements state that a 64 bit operating system is required. Assuming that this wasn't written in error, it would imply that there has been an upgrade to the games engine. This upgrade would enable a plethora of things but I think the key takeaways are as follows:
• Better stability
• Ability to add MORE MODS
• HIGHER QUALITY mods
• Potential mod.io support as per the EULA also mentioned on the steam page
