get-random and 64bit computers

[msftrncs]

In several places Get-Random's docs refer to 'On a 64-bit computer', but I am sure that 64-bit computers have no bearing in the support or generation of 64-bit values, as the 64-bit generally refers to the address width, and not the data width or APU width (these days). One spot refers to 64-bit output being default on 64-bit computers. If there really is such an environment where 64-bit results are default output, the docs should reference an example of such an environment, as they might have an affect on cross platform scripting.
