Importance of setting processor architecture type in Visual Studio C #

Is it really important to specify the type of architecture if I am making a simple Windows program that uses HttpWebRequests, or is it okay to leave it as "Any processor"?

In most cases, you can leave it as "Any processor." I personally change it only when there is a clear need, for example,

  • If you have unmanaged links that do not work well with x64.
  • When you compile a DLL, you want to use a specific architecture instead of inheriting the boot process.
  • When you know that your program will need a lot of memory and you want to use x64.
  • You make direct calls to the x64 Windows API.
