SUMMARY
Page 1 of the Works 3.0 "User's Guide" states that to install Microsoft Works you need "a personal computer with an 80386 processor or higher with at least 2 megabytes (MB) of memory."

This information is incorrect. To install Microsoft Works 3.0, your computer must have at least 4 MB of memory.



MORE INFORMATION
The minimum system requirements for Works 3.0 are as follows:
 * MS-DOS operating system version 3.1 or later.
 * Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.1 or later.
 * A personal computer using a 386SX or higher microprocessor.
 * 4 MB of memory.
 * Approximately 14 MB of space free on your hard disk for a complete installation (4 MB for a minimum).
 * VGA or compatible video graphics adapter and monitor (color recommended).

NOTE: The box that Works comes in correctly states that Works for Windows 3.0 requires 4 MB of memory.
