Technical difference between 32 bit vs 64 bit version

Hi community,

From some of the posts I read, it seems that 64 bit version can have a better performance in memory usage. I am looking to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit version for my company, and wonder if there are technical documentations in these 2 versions that I can show my boss to approve the upgrade. Any help is appreciated 🙂

Hi @nathan115,

 

The application is the same but the processing performance is superior in 64 bit. At some point with large data models (eg in the millions of rows), 32 bit will most likely stop responding. If you have a choice, use 64 bit.
