Again, your hardware and software are very outdated. You seem to wanna import large data blocks.
32-bit applications in Windows generally have a limit of 2GB addressable space (4GB when running on 64-bit Windows OS). On the other hand if you run 64-bit application on 64-bit Windows OS the current limit is 16 TB (terabytes) = 16000GB.
So it is advised to run 64-bit system and 64-bit software in this case 64-bit AB if working with large data. You also need up-to-date hardware technology. In your case it is long overdue!
Anyway here is quote from AB knowledge base

Do write on a book on how you manage to get your work done without all the mumbo-jumbo that Microsoft has added in name of productivity since then. It'd be hot-seller.
