Depends on the computer and the distro and the options selected on install.
The more the distro relies on modules, and the more modules are installed, the easier time you will have. There are distros specifically designed for a wide range of HW (Knoppix for eg) - typically those designed to run live.

However - if you try to plug a 64-bit distro HDD into a 32-bit machine...
