    Hi Guys,

    I Have a Dell Vostro 1700 with the following SPEC.

    Intel Dual Core 2 Duo T7500 2.20 GHZ
    4 GB RAM
    120 HDD
    Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS
    WIndows XP SP3.

    My Starcraft 2 is running SO SLOW, i FORMATED my LAPTOP and still going slow, i dont know why my lap isnt running sc2, it freeze sometimes, i put everything on LOW + LOW RESOLUTION and still doing slow, any ideas?.

    Have you installed the NVIDIA GPU drivers? Other than that, you should be able to run SC2. It's bound to be slow, though. Probably around 10~15FPS in certain scenarios and might dip even lower if there are a ton of units on-screen. The GeForce 8400M GS is little better than an Intel IGP.

    Split this post from original topic which didn't really address anything related to StarCraft II. This belongs in the tech support forum as well.
