hmmmmz ... i've always found it interesting to know about a game's minimum and optimum system requirements, but i also understand that these are frequently and heavily debated upon - considering the thousands of possible PC configurations.
nowadays, PC's tend to have lots of powwah (sometimes, too much of it), but way back (the DOS-games era), knowing a game's requirements was a matter of "yep, it's supposed to work, i'll buy it" or "nope, hopeless, my machine won't take it, leave it on the shelf".
it realise this goes beyond the scope of this site ... even mobygames won't bother with a game's specs since it is such a bother. pity, actually.
