In some contexts, "system requirements" means something along the lines of:

CPU: minimum 1GHz
RAM: minimum 1GB
disk space required for installation: 250MB

And "software requirements" means something like:

Windows XP Pro (SP2 or later) or Vista (SP1 or later)
Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 (or later) or Mozilla Firefox 2.0 (or later)
Sun Java Runtime Environment version 6 update 2 (or later)
