I get why it seems confusing but that's actually totally different 64bit is not for color depth you see on the screen it's to make use of the better processor features and architecture it's not the same "bit". the performance difference is slightly more noticeable on the 64bit X264 encoder because that's where the cpu stress should be coming from and that's where it gets more useful.

Coming back to report that things are going pretty decently. Decided to step down from Faster to Very Fast and back to 30 FPS for better smoothness. I need to ask though, what is buffer size? I've read about it but don't understand. What does having a buffer size of 4800(+ect.) if you only have 2.1 mb upload? Would it be beneficial to set my Max Bitrate to something like 1200 and the buffer to 1900?
Faster 25 fps is a much better looking stream at that bitrate/settings
faster 25
veryfast 30
Think of the bufsize as a little video clip where you're telling the encoder to target the maximum file size.
If you specified a maxrate of 1000 and a 3000 bufsize you're telling the encoder that the maximum file length is about 3 seconds and you want the finale size to not exceed 3000 kbits, that's the basic idea. and the benefits is that it should be a little more efficient in terms of bits/quality ratio compared to three 1 second clips at 1000 maxrate each depending on how complex the same scene is.
If you're worried about extreme spikes you could try this test viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2613 and switch between a static scene and the test scene to see how the spike should affect your connection.
