64-bit
Double the thirty-two
64-bit describes computer architecture that processes data in 64-binary-digit chunks.
A 64-bit processor handles larger numbers and more memory than its 32-bit predecessor—enough to address over 16 billion gigabytes of RAM.
Most modern operating systems and software are 64-bit: You'll need the 64-bit version of Windows.
The hyphen is standard when used as a modifier.
