Coverage WWI 2008 >> StarCraft 2 System Requirements
WorldofWar.net’s technical guru, Kalos, seems to have acquired an interest in StarCraft 2, and since he is part-time moderator here as well, he has been kind enough to put some of his thought to print on StarCraft 2’s possible System Requirements. It is a very thorough analysis of what we have learned at WWI, as well as old information from the Zerg Press Release in March this year, and every imaginable and unimaginable reliable source that is possible to find.
While he touches on many different subjects, here is one thought on the minimum requirements of StarCraft 2:
Recently I was asked about the demands and requirements StarCraft II would place upon a user’s computer system. The first section I have put together is a simple system that will most likely boot and operate the game to a basic degree. Underneath I have also gone into more formal analysis of some of the specifications and demands we know StarCraft II to have from what Blizzard has released so far, and what is in that section is designed to be said with certainty. Something like this, or better should be used to play StarCraft 2.
StarCraftWire.net Minimum Specifications:
- CPU: Intel Pentium 4 2.4 GHz
- Memory: 1 GB RAM
- Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce FX 5500
- Hard Disk Space: Undeterminable*
* See an alternative spec and “Reccomended Specs” on page 2
See the alternative min specs, the “Recommended” System Requirements, as well as sources and deductions in his full analysis here.
If you have any questions about technical difficulties, hardware specifications, internet connection bothers you should pop over to our newly opened StarCraft Technical Support Forum and ask Kalos the Tech Guru for help!
Looks like I might be able to continue the legacy and play it on my Laptop :D
I am not sure though since a 8600 nvidia card in a laptop seems to be totally different for as far as performance goes. * Keeps his hopes up!

Yeah, I was a bit taken aback at first, but it might actually work on my poos laptop that is starting to get old.. We’ll see when the beta is out. Wouldn’t like to use the job pc to game =P
I’d have to bring a sleeping bag to work!
[QUOTE=Strobe;4163]now the problime im waiting for. although i have a 1.8 core 2 duo, will it keep up?
I don’t see why it wouldn’t. As long as everything else in your machine meets the min/recommended specs, you should be just dandy

Just gonna say, if you have tech specific questions, feel free to ask Kalos in the tech boards =) He is the maester.

I’d think so. It’s faster than a 2.4 Ghz Pentium 4, and becoming a common peice over the last two years. Should be reasonable as a processor, I’d need to go over the other parts but the processor should by no means rule you out.
