Core i7 Compatibility to Starcraft

Hi, I'm planning to purchase a laptop with Core i7 Q720M , but I was wondering if that core wouldnt be compatible to starcraft, beacuse I heard that some software/programs were specifically designed for dual-core and thus might not run on the new Quadcores. Do you guys any opinions on this?

Some software runs better because it has multicore support. Starcraft has no multicore support but it does not mean you cannot play Starcraft. So purchase away!

I'm sorry, but you sir are really really really really misinformed. Do you honestly think they'd make a dual or quad CPUs if it would in turn make software incompatible? You must be really young, or know nothing about computers.

It has nothing to do with your physical hardware, it has to do with your operating system. 64bit OSes (64bit XP/Vist/W7) have problems with SC's install and patching, so you have to use a 3rd party patching tool like BWAI Downgrader.

Finally its Core i7 not iCore 7. I'll be correcting your post and topic title.

Ultraviolet -- Yeah, I suppose there's something to that

Oh_Man -- whereas just "press X to get 50 health back" is pretty mindless

Oh_Man -- because it adds anotherr level of player decision-making where u dont wanna walk too far away from the medic or u lose healing value

Oh_Man -- initially I thought it was weird why is he still using the basic pre-EUD medic healing system, but it's actually genius

Ultraviolet -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: I almost had a heart attack just thinking about calculating all the offsets it would take to do that kind of stuff
With the modern EUD editors, I don't think they're calculating nearly as many offsets as you might imagine. Still some fancy ass work that I'm sure took a ton of effort
[2024-5-06. : 12:51 am]
Oh_Man -- definitely EUD

Vrael -- that is insane
[2024-5-05. : 9:35 pm]
Vrael -- damn is that all EUD effects?
