64 bits or 32 bits ?

Question : C:BE should 64 bits for more than 4 Go of RAM ?

I ran Civ V on medium settings on my old 32-bit 2.0 dual core with 4G ram and it worked just fine. On my new 64-bit desktop with 3.4 quad-core and 8G ram I run it on highest settings just fine. Since C:BE uses the same engine work from there. If your computer can run Civ V it can probably run C:BE.

I must confess though that upgrading from 4GB to 8GB Ram was enabling a completely different gaming experience, even though Civ5 can't use all of the 8GB. It runs fine the way it ist (large maps, 15+ civs). I wouldn't mind bigger maps with more civs though (i never go for conquest victory anyway).
