I want to use a program that in the 64 bit version says requirements are 8gb ram and i5 processor; in 32 bit version it is pentium 4 at 3mhz and 4gb ram.
problem is my laptop is 64 bit windows 7, 4gb ram, i3 processor at 2.26. I tried using the 64 bit version and it is real slow and freezes; would using the 32 bit version on this machine be any better? I was told this program is downward compatible so the 32 bit version will work on the 64 bit machine just not the reverse of that.
