The operative word is "need".
All the rest is window dressing.

FWIW, for most office (small o) applications a 16 MHz '286 managed 
very nicely indeed. Anything that needed substantial iteration 
(including perhaps some spreadsheet goal seeking) or truly vast 
database indexing (DBase rulze!) took a trifle long, but for most 
things it was fine. Even worked OK as a file server. Even with many 
hundreds of MB of hard disk!!!!
