does office 2003 require SVGA or is VGA OK?

[steveng]

I'm going to buy my 83-year-old mother and computer junky and new desktop
system. I want to go with XP Pro and Office 2003. System requirements for
Office 2003 say I need an SVGA monitor. All the good, flat-screen, cheap
ones are VGA. Do I really need SVGA to run Office 2003? Is there and
adapter or work-around? Or is it all marketing bull-bleep and VGA is just
fine?

I'm going to try to put the system together and get it to her in about a
week - 10 days, so I could really use some help quickly. Just a simple "yes,
VGA will work" or "Nope, you're stuck with SVGA" will do the trick.

Thanks much in advance.

Where do you see anything about SVGA? All the specs state is "1024x768 or
higher resolution monitor".
