can you upgrade from 32 bit to48 to install external hard drive for video editing? Gateway t 1628 laptop

Your laptop supports 64-bit operating systems but there would be no point in upgrading unless you wanted to have 4 GB of memory or more. Your laptop comes with 3 GB if I'm not mistaken.
Any external hard drive should work fine on a 32-bit operating system, doesn't matter what it is for, video editing or otherwise.
And just to dispel any possible confusion, there is no such thing as a 48-bit operating system.

Actually I was stating requirement of hard drive manufacture LaCie. Thanks for responding its worth trying again.
I'm just trying to cut corners working with my Gateway T1628 and using a large and faster hard drive for video editing.
I need to get a hold of LaCie and start again thanks much.
