Running Mach3 on a 32 bit system is also fine, and won't be the limit. Most of us ARE running on a 32 bit system - WXP SP3 in many cases!
But Windows is really sloppy bloated code, and if the box did not have enough processor grunt or memory or graphics speed, THAT could kill it. The system could be page-swapping when it should be generating tracks, and then the PP driver runs out of data and hangs. I think those limitations might go with the age of the box.
Mind you, if you use exactly the same box and use an ESS instead of the PP, you might find the job cruising through.
