Question About Computer Size And Power

I will be buying a laptop soon , but I have an old desktop a hp 3200 32 bit I know it is not very powerful. I hook up the camera on it and ARC shuts down , is this because of the 32 bit or should it run?

MINE had a camera problem using 1 gig of memory,only stating i had the same exact problem like he has . when i upgrade to 4 gig of memory it fix it,memory is so super cheap and very easy to install doesnt hurt anything by not trying it.

in one computer i have if not all, i added 4gb of memory when it turn on it shows 4 gig installed and then when windows loaded it shows only 3gb of memory

like the comper i am using it has installed 4gb of memory and in my computer under properties it shows 2.96 mb of memory using a quad core 2.66 mhz with 32 bit windows xp pro

on my super fast I5 quad processor (not quad core) but 4 I5 cpu server computer wth 4 terabyte hard drives running windows 7 it shows it 32gb and i think i can add more,need to get at the manual again ,using 64 bit its just my video server with photoshop and some other high end software

so in windows 7 it shows the correct memory,but not in windows xp

i heard the most you should in install is 3gb of memory on windows xp or the rest is a waste bt some computers only have one slot ,so you have to use 4gbof memory
