    1 gig sounds about right.
    2 gig for max performance

    1 gig is recommended. 512 will be low quality.

    1gig is fairly standard for new games, so no surprise there. you could probably play 800*600 with 500megs of ram.

    i think 1 gagabyte will be minimum, but it also something to do how good mhz you Rams have.

    ex. my friend has 4GB 660 Mhz Ram, but mine 2GB 1033Mhz Hyper X Ram are better then his on the Windows Vista Experience Index with 5,7 againts his 5,4.

    Mine cost the same as his ;D

    Edit: sry i meaned 1066 mhz and i have HyperX - 2x1024 MB DDR2, DDR2-8500 DDR1066, CAS 5-5-5-15 - KHX8500D2K2/2G for 300 $. And my computer costed 2050 $ with owner Hardisk owner Ram owner mainboard owner processor. Just Owner :)

    wow 1033 MegaHertz ram huh? wonder if i can hear it on the radio...
    mhz is a sound frequency not a ram speed (preaty sure i mean c'mon)
    look for the words DDR2 or PC2 then the number after thats the card speed
    also there is timing, CAS latency and heat spreaders if your looking for quality of ram
    i have
    2GB
    DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
    Cas latency 4
    4-4-4-12 timing
    ram wit a heat spreader

    hmm now that i look at it the ddr2 stands for mhz, 800 mhz mine is but its also the fastest type it can handle (im cheap i built my comp myself spending $500)

    but now that i look it up, kingston hyperx doesent come in 1033mhz u sure its not 1000mhz or 1066mhz?

    doing a little more research i figured out you have either the KHX8000D2K2/2G, the KHX8500D2K2/2G, or the KHX8500D2K2/2GN
    still thats $200 i dont have lol

    probably 1 gig recommended

    while I have 1 gig already this thread caused me to look up upgrades for my alienware. Being an alienware it is already awesome and it has plenty of space to upgrade. However, seeing as I have already upgraded other aspects of it since I first bought it, any more upgrades would require an upgrade of the motherboard to be able to accommodate newer technologies that were not around when I first bought my computer. I have discovered that it would cost $1600 to make my alienware a top of the line computer.

    This is what I'm hoping. I still need a new PC though at some point.

    512 MB of RAM as the bare minimum along with a 64 MB video 3-D video card.

    I think at least 256 and best performance 512 the original starcraft was a great non - system hogger but looking at the graphics and stuff from screenshots it might end up on the higher scale on the system rescources.

    2 Gig recommened 1 gig minimum. The game won't come out until sometime 08 at the earliest so 2 gig recomendation wouldn't be all that high. I have 1 gig now at 800mhz and by the time SC2 comes out I will have at least 2 gig, maybe 3 or 4. Right now a gig of decent DDR2 800mhz ram only cost about $50. I am almost certain that by the time SC2 comes out 2 gig will be that cheap or cheaper.
