I tried to load the ATLauncher and a message came up that said something like, "You are running 32-bit Java with 64-bit Windows. For optimum performance you should be running 64-bit Java."
(Sounds good to me. My new computer runs Minecraft slower than my son's 5-year-old computer, and it doesn't run the major mods that his does.)
It took me to the Java download site where I was offered something like a dozen different versions of Java with no indication of which is which.
The very bottom option was something like "Java_Windows84." I didn't want to try it, but I'm guessing that's Java for Windows 8 (6)4-bit, which would be what I need.
Can anyone point me to the correct version of Java?

You want Windows x64 jre-8u40-windows-x64.exe. Also look into Fps plus, FastCraft, or Optifine to increase your game speed.
