<h2>Choosing Your Server Software</h2>
<p>The Software tab offers three build options, which is unique to Garry's Mod on Spawnly:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Standard (32-bit)</strong> — the original 32-bit Garry's Mod server build.</li>
<li><strong>x86-64 (64-bit)</strong> — the 64-bit build, recommended if you're running a heavily-modded server, since it gives the server process more memory headroom than the 32-bit build.</li>
<li><strong>Chromium</strong> — a build with an updated embedded browser engine, used for web-based in-game menus and UI panels that some addons rely on.</li>
</ul>
<p>Switching between these requires a server restart, which the dashboard will confirm before applying.</p>
