YES xp will work sniff im so happy now if they wouldent i would have sold my computer and bought a TV and an xbox 360

 

I'm very impressed how low the minimum system requirements are: I'd like to know how well it'll run on a modest machine.

 

Yay, go me! I've been saying 2.4Ghz Pentium for the longest now. I was only gauging it on performance in other RTS so that's fairly impressive for someone as nubby as me.

They've been up since about 8:30 EST last night

it should work pretty well right?? if not im pissed...

 

It'll push your vid card to the max, but other than that, no problem.

I'm just sad I can't play it on my netbook.

 

I have a Toshiba S305-3101 that has an ATI X1300 (far better than Intel 965) and it gets raped playing the original Neverwinter Nights. I doubt that computer has a hope in hell.

 

^^my bubble you have burst

another game i think ima just have to enjoy by watching videos lol

 

Heck the Graphics requirments listed there are surprisingly low. Going of that even my old machine might be able to hit the medium settings for graphics in game. And that sounds really good. The more machines that can play it = more potential customers and revenues for Blizzard.

 

I have an ATI Radeon HD 8500 512mb graphics card is that worse then the ATI Radeon 9800 that is required?

my res is 1920x1200. but i am not sure how my graphics card will handle during gameplay and sc2 only 1 way to find out.

GIVE ME A BETA KEY!

 

You got your graphics card wrong

 

well thank you fine sir!

 

I'm asking you to get the name right so I can help you.

 

oh sorry lmao noobie mistake hahaha

its ati radeon hd 4850

 

That's a great card. Far, far, far beyond the minimums. That maxes Crysis easily. StarCraft 2 is child's play.

 

SWEET! i get all confused because the number that was posted in the requirements is 9800 which is higher then 4850 :S so i got scared

 

Whadya think? 3.06ghz P4 HT, 2 gigs of ram, 128mb Nvidia...will it run on my system or should i buy a new one?

 

wow. i can run this on my cheapo home server box. i'm probably still going to upgrade anyways just to max out all the eye candy, though.

 

You're barely past minimum. It'll play but not well especially because of that card.

You should buy a new one.
