System requirements

System requirements are the minimum level of hardware and software a player should have to expect a decent playing experience. Listing these requirements is an industry standard, but "decent" playing experience varies wildly. All the Warcraft games have varying levels of system requirements, but most of them run on both Microsoft Windows based PCs and Mac OS X based Macintosh computers.
