It's easier to try it and see (and have an answer in seconds) rather than wait 
several hours to get a reply...

The specific answer depends on your hardware and whether or not you are going to

there have been numerous discussions in recent weeks and months.  First, upgrade 
to 4.6.3, then try again.
