I'm helping a young man from Nigeria get set up for college. He doesn't have
much money, so I had an old 333mhz with 256 ram that I fixed up for him.
Bought MS Office 2003 Pro (he's an acct major) student for him. Loaded WIN
2000 Pro that I had, also. Everything works fine except now he had to dl BCM
for class and it says it needs a 400 mhz minimum to run. But all of the other
Office runs ok. Is there a way around this min. reqmt? Help!

Unfortunately the answer is no. BCM will generally require higher minimum
system requirements that Office 2003. This is due to the additional overhead
required by the MSDE Data Store.

Required: Pentium III 450
Recommended: PIII 500+
Memory: 256 MB
Recommended Memory: 256 MB +

Hope this helps.
