That refers to a specific combination of hardware and operating system. For example, "Windows, running on a Pentium or compatible processor".
For Microsoft windows, they provide a compatibility list for all hardware compatible with their operating systems. You can check it by visiting http://www.Microsoft.com/hcl For most other operating systems, they provide a similar list for hardware compatibility. Variants of Linux like Ubuntu for example have it listed on their website.
Compatible
You can add any software that is compatible with your Mac's operating system and hardware. (Processor and Video card size and make)
Hardware and software. Hardware is divided into input, output, storage, process that are classified through its function. Software is divided into operating system (OS) and Application System.
Hardware And Operating System
The user is responsible for interacting the operating ststem with the hardware.
The hardware requirements are what the Operating System designers have determined as the MINIMUM hardware to be able to run the Operating system. There are no minimum or suggested Software requirements for an operating system since the operating system IS the software.
The operating system (OS) controls the hardware. A successful computer system will have hardware and an operating system. Application software is not required. All operating systems have a low level, or machine language to run the operation system and control all hardware.
All operating systems interact with hardware.
