The 32MB of memory in the camera is temporary image storage... a buffer. 
  You don't put anything there other than by snapping pictures.
See table on specs page 78:  Still image buffer | 32 MB internal memory

I repeat:  You don't need a cable, you don't need a driver.  Just use 
the card reader to read the card after removal from the camera.
