Can I run Office with a Intel Celeron M Processor?

[Redhead]

I wanted to buy one of Dell's Inspiron 1200 with the Intel Celeron M
Processor. They are telling me it won't support Microsoft Office, esp.
Publisher and Excel. Is this true? Do I need to upgrade? The computer runs
Windows XP Home Edition.
THanks for any help.

There are three variants, all of which are capable of running MS Office..
obviously, 512mb RAM is the best option and will be less problematic when
running graphics programs like Publisher.. the price differential across the
range reflects an extra 10gb of HDD, a printer, and 256mb..

It may be a cheaper option to go for the lowest price and then purchase the
extra memory from Kingston or Crucial, or even Dell.. check with them first
on memory configuration..
