Is it permissable to install your PC Windows operating
system upgrades on your laptop? Also, is 256 MB RAM
enough for Windows 2000 Professional and Office 2000?
 
1) No, not permissible. One computer, one license.

2) Yes, it's what I'd regard as a sensible minimum spec.

Hope this helps

My answers would be
1.) No - assuming that you were intending to reuse a
W2K license that is already being used on a different
system. "Oli" also seemed to interpret your post
that way.
2.) It depends on what you are going to do with Office 2000.
For very large documents, 256 MB might not be nearly enough.
A few months ago someone who was using Word to write a book
complained to me about how it had been getting slower and
slower as the size of the book grew. Upgrading him from
256 MB to 1280 MB fixed the problem. MS Word is extremely
wasteful of both RAM and disk space. The file for the book
was 313 MB - and when loading the file into Word his RAM usage
jumped by over 600 MB.

He also has WordPerfect and the WordPerfect version of the file
is only 65 MB and WordPerfect only needs about 150 MB to load the
file- but he doesn't want to switch word processors. Go figure.
