Meet the (Actual) StarCraft II System Requirements
If you want to play StarCraft II [http://www.amazon.com/Starcraft-II-Wings-Liberty-Pc/dp/B000ZKA0J6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1278964580&sr=1-1], here's what your computer is going to have to have under the hood.
Last month [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97882-Dont-Meet-the-StarCraft-II-System-Requirements-UPDATE], someone at Blizzard accidentally published system requirements for the upcoming StarCraft II beta that were, when you thought about it, impossibly low for a modern RTS.
Well, now we have a whole new all the information [http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=26242&parentCategoryId&pageNumber=1&categoryId=3633] swirling around the impending release of the beta, it seems like the odds are in favor of these being legit.
There aren't any "Recommended" specs that I can see, but if you want to run the StarCraft II beta (and presumably the full game) at the minimum, here's what you'll need:
[blockquote]PC Minimum Requirements:
? Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
? 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
? 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
? 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card
? 1024x768 minimum display resolution
? 4 GB free hard space (Beta)
? Broadband connection
*Note* the final requirements for StarCraft II have not yet been determined. Due to ongoing development the minimum requirements listed above are subject to change at any time. During this phase a Mac version will NOT be available, please check back.
[/blockquote]
Not quite as "holy crap those are low" as the previously leaked ones, but those are still pretty damn reasonable, don't you think?
