    CC?

    Btw its an 8600GT not 8800... And I plan to overclock both the cards and the processor in the near future... the card I got going right now, just experimenting with the temps. The processor im not sure on, I've never done it... isn't there an nTune for processors?

    Now that you mention it though, my other computer runs 2x 8800GTX SLi with intel Quad core QX6800. Technically not mine, I share with my dad but he never uses it.

    He's a big Starcraft nut though, I got him into it...

    Dang!!!! I better not have to buy a new CP JUST for a SC2 because that would be lame. But I know Blizzard will take this into consideration because if they want to mass market this product, they would have decent requirements to play this wonderful game, but they will definately have it in balance as to say for the people with poor CPs.

    Im guessing the recommended cards will be 7800/1800 and higher, there's already a game that has those cards as recommended.. don't remember which though.

    I have a 8800 GTX, planning to SLI, 2 GB ram, and a Core 2 Extreme at 2.93 GHz (?), complete with near a TB of free HD. Anyways, I think nearly any comp with a vid card 7600 or better and a processor with 3Ghz for single core and 2 Ghz with dual core and a gig of ram wold be able to play SC2 on full with at least a solid framerate of 50.

    Haha, my friend has a Red Storm, but he won't let me use it.

    I don't think 7600 will run on Full, probably Low settings. And framerate depends, your processor might be 3.0Ghz but it could still be a crap processor. That'll choke FPS quite a bit. I think they'll no doubt recommend 7800^ and dual core processors.

    I, like at least a few of you other StarCraft lovers, are worrying about whether your computer will be able to handle StarCraft II. Until recently, I was fairly sure that my computer would run it just fine on a low setting, but a recent article (in the link below) said that Blizzard Reps released information stating that the Blizzcon Version of the game was running at a minimum of 1GB of RAM.

    Now, I have no idea whether I should trust this site. And of course, the minimum RAM could be lower for the real game, but I am not really qualified to make any assumptions at this point.

    That's where YOU come in! Most of you probably know more about computers than I do, so I shall ask you this: If you had to guess what the minimum RAM requirements were for StarCraft II, what would you say? Will it be a 1GB minimum, or something less. (like say, 512 MB) Thank you for your opinion. :)

    Here is the link to the article: http://bluereportcast.com/blizzcon-2007-starcraft-2-faq/ (the part about RAM is about 1 third of the way through)
