    Not to be a prick, but I see countless threads of "will my computer run SC2?"
    Realize it's ment to be run on a broad variety of systems, and that the graphics can be REALLY reduced and tailored to your machine. This is blizzards recommended and minimum sysetm requirements. You can run it with less, but shoot for this or better. Upgrade your RAM and Graphics card first, assuming you MoBo/Processor is OK.
    Enough with the constant "Here is what I have will it run...."
    Not to be a **** but it's kind of annoying.

    @Swifty: Would be nice if you'd edit your post a little and add the System Requirements Lab (Can you run it?) to your post. There are a lot of people reading the minimum requirements, seeing a Radeon 9800 Pro is needed. Asking themselves "Oh, but i have a HD 5970 - seems to be not running. Where can i get a 9800 Pro???".... those who don't know about PCs in general. They could check if they meet the requirements without knowledge....

    I would say duplicate thread :p

    We already have a sticky with the requirements.

    The wave probably ends in 3 or so days, just ride it out and scream along
