I'm going to assume that the "mb" should actually be "Mb". There is a HUGE difference between the two. Both are, as well as the "k", abbreviations for engineering prefixes. The "m" is for "milli", which represents millionth's, or decimally; 0.001. The "M" is for "Mega", with represents millions, or decimally; 1,000,000. The "k" is for "kilo", which represents thousands. With all of that said, the difference between them is a factor of 1,000, either larger or smaller, depending on whether that is a "m" or a "M". Hope that helps!
