will office 2004 run on the 13" macbook without any added RAM and a 2.0
GHz processor

But you really should get 1 GB RAM, at least. 512K is not enough for most
apps under Rosetta (nor most native apps either, frankly). And it's not
expensive.

Yes indeed. Note that those reviews used machines with 2Gb RAM.

Rosetta eats up a LOT of RAM.
Several vendors sell RAM for these Mac for a muchmore reasonable price
than Apple actually. I bought mine through Other WOrld COmputing:

(but I'm sure therer are many other options).

I just bought the 2Ghz MacBook with 512 MB RAM and it is TERRIBLY SLOW
for running Office. I would definately get more RAM. However, consider
buying RAM from OWC (http://www.macsales.com) or eBay because it is
about 1/3 the price as it is from the Apple store. I have 2G on order
now for $200.

Yeah, with 512, the translated process (part of Rosetta) uses humongous
ammounts of virtual memory and slows down everything. You definitively
need more.
