so, Ive been playing around with the idea of a "Can You Run It" button on the launcher for people to see if they can run specific modpacks , and how well. Opinions?
Idea for the launcher?

No, impossible to work out... for the default packs they may know what it needs to run but why code it? People can read... as for a custom pack there is no way to possibly know what it's requirements will be
Considering Minecraft is extremely based on RAM usage, you could say something like:
Obs.: There are exceptions to this!
And so on, there's several other factors that also count, but those are quite difficult to label exactly, if you have a somewhat decent processor and video card, you should be fine with any FTB pack, keeping in mind the chart above, and, of course, if you don't try to and shaders and/or HD Texture Packs and such.
But, don't take my word on this, this is all regarding my experience, I'm not on tech support or anything. So, don't quote me on this!
Also, this should be moved to the "Launcher Feedback" section, @Lawbroken, sorry to bother, but if you don't mind...
- 1.6.4 Packs, 2 GB RAM necessary.
- 1.4.x Packs, 1 GB RAM necessary.
- 1.2.5 Packs, 1 GB or less RAM necessary.

Perhaps a way to do it, would be in your account info put in your ram, os, and proc that way the Button you are talking of implementing wouldnt have to scan your computer. Merely check it against the settings of the server.
That still doesn't change anything else stated in the thread. What you are talking about is the easy stuff.
True. Here is few questions which should be answered somehow.
Who is correct person to define which CPU is required for MC? How about lite packs which require less resources? Can we decide not to support GPUs which are known to cause problem(s)? Is there database for opengl GPU features? Who will make and update database for supported HW?
