How much are you prepared to spend upgrading your computer for StarCraft 2?

I'm confident with my current set-up.

 

Gonna buy me a whole new comp, mostly for crysis.

 

My computer pwns enough as it is.

 

I bought mine recently too. Crysis is a great game. I can't wait to play it. Any idea when it's coming out?

 

Well i spend 20,000 to buy a new upgrade computer.

 

Hopefully my moderately powerfull, average computer is enough... And if it isn't i guess i'll have ot live with medium settings.

 

I'll just buy an extra gig of ram and that should cover me. I'm probably going to need to have 2 gigs for alot of upcoming games anyway. With 2 gig my CPU and GPU should last me atleast 1 more year, probably 2 years before I upgrade those. Might have to upgrade my PSU at the same time to though, only 450watts right now.

 

How can I find out how much RAM, CPU, GPU, PSU I have? ???

 

my computers nearing 2 years old, so I'll probably upgrade a couple months before sc2 comes out so i can max all settings at high resolution. No idea how much i will spend, probably under 1500.

LT, if your using windows XP you can right click on mycomputer and go to properties, that will give you most info. also if you rightclick properties on desktop and tab to 'settings' it should tell you your gfx card.

 

Well I have hardly enough money so I think I will pray to be able to run the game

 

if we buy a new computer with windows vista on it, will we be still able to play SC original on vista?

 

My computer is like 7 years old lol...so im upgrading next year, thinking of gettnig an alienware PC.

Prob be about £1000, which is around $2000 at todays exchange rate. Obviously though, i will be buying "Spore" and "Crisis" so its gonna be worth it. hell Starcraft 2 alone will be worth it.

 

Brand new comp. 3200-3500 CDN, not just for SC though, mostly in part cause of CoD4, AA and FH2(BF2 mod)

 

Well, i think if ever i bought new computer, the old one will stay, and i will play the Starcraft Broodwar in my old computer, and the Starcraft II In the new one.

 

Thanks a lot owerup:

 

Alright, so I googled starcraft's compatibility with vista and i learned that Starcraft will infact be able to be played on windows Vista.

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

 

I have Windows Vista Home Premium and Starcraft runs fine.

 

My gfx card: ASUS X1300 series
Here's what's in My computer properties:
Intel(R)
Pentium(R) D CPU 3.00 GHz
3.01 GHz, 512 MB of RAM
Will I be able to play SC2?
Can anyone tell me what all tis means?

 

Im gonna get me a grand spanking new mac (my laptop has .. 750 ram!!!!!!!!!!!) yes call me a lagger but what the hell i cant afford more ram I DONT HAVE A JOB YET!!!

 

I doubt you'd be able to run the game smoothly, although it probably meets the minimum requirements. Your processor should suffice, but it's your graphics card and RAM that are on the weak side. The X1300 is a low-end series, but if you're playing on a low resolution, it shouldn't do too badly.

Do not expect to run a playable game of Crysis with that setup. You bought it recently did you? From where?
Crysis should be released around November this year.
