One takes advantage of a 32 bit architecture and the other of a 64 bit 
architecture...and some of the standard library understands the difference.

For example, I understand that "ets" understand the 64 bit architecture 
and can take advantage of huge tables whereas "dets" is still 32 bit 
specific.

There'd be other differences, too, I suppose.
