StarCraft II is at the moment in it's alpha phase, and it is possible that the system requirements could change before the release.
These requirements are vague at the moment, but that's expected at this point. They're also a bit higher than most of us foresaw, but they are very much in league with modern games."

from sclegacy.

This is perfect, I have almost exactly the optimal requirements

Wow, I can't rely on my modem any more and I think that will keep me away from battle.net. I hope to upgrade before SCII comes out but who knows. "- 1 Mbit ADSL" means 1 Mbps?

I'm gonna need a better comp.

Me as well. I don't even come close to enough RAM for the minimal requirements... I want it to play and look great so I guess my wallet will feel empty when StarCraft 2 unveils itself.

These are not real requirements. =|

Wow, this is one test I actually passed...

See you guys in 10 years. This computer has 224 mb ram and no video card.

When I bought my computer the guy claimed that it had 756 Mb RAM but when I do a quick "windows + pause break" it states that I have 512 Mb RAM. I play WarCraft III online and single player and it runs fine and smooth.

fixed. this isn't official, and it may be far off.

It might be RAM plus the RAM on your graphics card.

i sorta meet the "recommended" i dont have a 8800 i have a 8600

if their going to close the other sc2 requirement topic they could atleast news this one. I think the other one was better imo (it provided a pic )

They are speculated. That is why I removed it from the news.

I c wut u did thar


Anyways, these requirments are completly unfair =( as i know i have probly half of the reccomended requirments and noone near 1mbps either :\.

Before you start going "waaa these are too high I wont play sc2 for another 10 years" these are completely made up, pulled out of someones ass. SC2 won't have requirements this high.

i barely meet the minimum requirements XD

everything is getting cheaper. upgrading shouldnt be a problem.
