Wow, what a post.."I have a beta key but I'm just gonna let it sit here and wither away since I can't use it." It's like some kind of secret brag post masked by an excuse (albeit a legit one, but still). I'm sure one of your friends who can play it would really like to. Try asking them.

To village_idiot: An actual solution is a cheap 2nd hand computer. Don't be fooled by all these posters building new computers for SC2. SC2 even works (everything to min) on my Geforce6150 Go on my laptop, and thats a horrible horrible card.

On the other hand, I also suggest that you give me the beta key for taking the amazing time and effort listening to your troubles.

Hey, this is a good idea.

I think I'm gonna ask my friends if they have their old rigs still lying around.

I have no idea.

I meet all the other requirements, but the graphics card is too old. I have ATI 9600 pro while Blizzard states that the minimum is 9800.

Can you still try to run it?
When I tried to install it, it says my laptop doesnt meet the requirements in ram. But I ignored that warning and proceeded to install sc2. SC2 did work, although I get like 6-10 FPS...

Nah, I got it about a month ago, but I didn't check my e-mail until now.

I already tried to run the game to watch replays and it didn't want to run.

I am pretty sad about this. If I can't get a cheap old computer I might have to sell the key when it's still worth something.

You are a member of TL.... and you didn't check your account management once since the Beta was announced.

WTF. No justice in this world. Blizzard should keep track of how many times the desperate kids have checked their account management and incorporate it into their chances of getting a key. Like, for every 50x you check your account you get a 5% higher chance of getting in.

So someboday that couldn't be bothered with getting a key and can't even run it got the key. Blizzard has a great system in place. In my opinion you would be best served by giving it away to someone on these boards. By the time you get the coin together to replace whatever it is you need to replace, the game will be out.

Sell Beta Key, Buy Graphics Card. Also 5/5 to counterbalance all the unneeded 'Beta-Hatas'.

A macro isn't hacking at all, it's just like getting a robot or pole to constantly check your account.
No I'm never serious.
