Hardware compatability

Does SQL Server Express Edition work with a Pentium M computer? When I downloaded it there was a message that it wasn't the proper hardware but everything else fits the requirements for an install.

Did you install .Net framework >2.0 and Wininstaler 3.0?

Which version your operational system is?|||

I installed everything in the order that is directed by the SQL Server Express Edition site. When I installed SQL Server Express, it did install successfully on my desktop, which is a Pentium IV, Windows XP Professional machine. However, when installed on my laptop, a Pentium M, Windows XP Professional, machine, everything installed except for a warning sign which said the hardware is incompatible. In checking my properties section on My Computer, everything else matches the requirements for an install and I have enough hard drive space and RAM. That's why I was wondering if a Pentium M system will handle the SQL Server Express Edition install.

Thanks for your help on this.
