"The Read method is unnecessary on 64-bit systems, because 64-bit read operations are already atomic. "

Does it matter if the process is 32 bit on a 64 bit system?

Does this mean that I can just use the variable without an `Interlocked.Read()` call if everything is 64 bit?

Like this...
``` csharp

public class Test
{

private int _value;

public void Add()
{
Interlocked.Increment(ref _value);
// can do this safely?
Console.WriteLine($"The new value is {_value}");

// or is this required?
Console.WriteLine($"The new value is (Interlocked.Read(_value)");
}
}
```
