Both support x64.


Now you can try scaling up the size to more than 4GB of ram.
Though you won't know that you're bug-free until you test sizes that are large enough to overflow all 32-bit indexing in your program.
Which is where a lot of ram becomes useful... An array of 32-bit integers won't overflow a 32-bit index until it's larger than 16GB. And for 64-bit double, you need 32GB of ram...

But that's just supersizing... way more than what's needed for most applications.

the FLOAT instead of DOUBLE saves bits and gains efficiency,
but i do not know if YOUR APP can work with FLOAT...
