In my previous post Setup: Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Technical Preview, as pointed out by Ganesh I didn’t mention the system requirements for Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Technical Preview.
So here it is:
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Computer and processor | 500 MHz processor or higher |
| Memory | 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher |
| Hard disk | 2 gigabytes (GB). A part of this disk space is free after installation if the original download package is removed from the hard disk. |
| Drive | CD-ROM drive or DVD drive |
| Display | 1024 x 768 or higher-resolution monitor |
| Operating system | Windows® XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3) (32-bit), Windows Vista® with SP1 (32-bit or 64-bit), Windows® Server 2003 R2 with SP2 (32-bit or 64-bit), Windows® Server 2008 with SP1 (32-bit or 64-bit), Windows® 7 (32-bit or 64-bit). Terminal Server and Windows on Windows (WOW) (which allows installing 32-bit versions of Office 2010 on 64-bit operating systems) are supported. |
| Additional | Requirements and product functionality can vary based on the system configuration and operating system. |
The requirements is same as Office 2007, which is very good and the other thing to note is that the 64-bit Office 2010 is not supported on Windows XP 64-bit and Microsoft has no plans to support it in future either

Some of your system requirements for office 2010 are inaccurate according to microsoft technet-

Hard disk space is now 3GB instead of 2GB
Monitor resolution is now 1024 x 576 not 1024 x 768
