example for system requirement

Have you seen this kind of label before? Ok this is one of the example that usually can be found on the CD/DVD software or game plastic case or box. Make sure you read it before purchasing any software or game.

Is this really important?

Yes it was!! As for me I’m a gamer and also a user. I don’t want buying a CD/DVD that can’t meet the minimum system requirement of the game. As for gamer, of course I want a better performance and experience while playing the game.
