How to enable 64 bit GMOD(and load way faster too)

[Jew]

Video on how to do that:

(sorry but anything else had garbage quality)
1. Right click GMOD and go in properties.
2. Click on "Beta"
3. Write x86-64 for the code and press enter (don't worry if it's invalid, go to step 4).
4. Quit GMOD if you are running it.
5. Select "x86-64 - Chromium + 64 bit binaries" in BETA.
6. Launch GMOD, you should see a window popup that has a few buttons with x32 and x64, choose x64.

And voilà! You can now load in the server WAY faster than before
(if you crash while joining FRG or just launching GMOD, disable the beta)
Why is it faster to load in now?:

It's faster to load now because GMOD can use all of your RAM to load instead of using a puny 2GB of RAM to do that.

Has anyone tried this? Does it help a lot?

since I've been on FRG I've played with and without this and overall its better for me to have the 64 bit. Some people complain about more crashes with it but that's typical gmod.

Note: They occasionally make changes that can and will fuck up your gmod experience (i.e we got the voice chat update before normal clients and there was some issue with inventories a while back that i cant remember but it would auto crash me after opening inventory)

A few people has played with this including Seal, swami, chaui and a bunch of other people and they've all said that it reduces their loading time to almost nothing(you can load in 30 secs and stuff).
