64-bit is microscopically faster than 32-bit, for machines with lots of RAM.
A mebibyte (MiB) is 1048576 ( 1024 * 1024 bytes ).
A megabyte (MB) is technically 1000000 bytes.
But old guys like me remember when a megabyte was what we now call a mebibyte, and what we now call a megabyte was called a "marketing megabyte".
