I remember when my brother got WoW on release.
He was so loving excited. Jumping off the walls and all. Big Warcraft fan.
He pops in the CD to his desktop (Now, mind you at the time his desktop computer was pretty bad. At least 32 MB VRAM, 512 MB RAM and Windows 2000 ME or something. Maybe like a 1.0 GHz processor.), and he gets the installer going. Bam, error message in installer: Your computer can't run WoW lol.
He got pissed so he tried his laptop. Our laptops were better, but still not enough because the graphics were probably even worse. Still won't work. He installs anyway, but it lags like hell.
He took out the CD, put it in the box and didn't touch it for another year until we moved and he got a new computer.
