According to this question: How big is an object reference in .NET? , .Net references are 32bit on x86 and 64bit on x64. When a 64bit reference is written is it done atomically or as 2 separate 32bit writes, as is done with a long?

@Steve, I'm confused why you thought it was dupe of the question already linked and summarized in this question. The second question, however, gives a definitive answer, confirmed correct by a user who was then a member of the C# compiler team. – Ben Voigt Nov 01 '14 at 02:19

@BenVoigt The question was originally a 2 parter. The first part was addressed by the duplicate link, so I reworded the question. – ConditionRacer Nov 01 '14 at 02:21
