What is required when installing Office XP?

[SRAdams]

I recently attempted to install Windows XP onto my laptop, unaware that it
would not install properly due to the low processor on my laptop (Pentium II
instead of Pentium III). I am in the process of tyring to get a hold of
Windows 98 SE to remedy that situation. Once I take care of that, I want to
install Office XP. I need to know if the Pentium II processor on my laptop
is compatible with Office XP (P.S. I am not too computer savvy).

I believe both Windows XP and Office XP are compatible with a PII processor.
What is likely causing trouble is your processor is either too slow or you
don't have enough memory on your laptop.

Your ability to install Office does not depend technically on your processor
(note that it has a minimum "requirement" but it is not enforced
technically.). You may install Office XP on a P2 machine but it may be a bit
slow after that ;-)

Hi S.R.,

The processor is compatible, how much RAM (memory) does this
PC have? The list here is fairly minimal:
