Your main issue is your GPU. At this moment the most bang for your buck is probably an 8800. The 8800 is probably the best value card you could possibly buy. More than enough power STILL for any game out there and doesn't break the bank. | ||

# Operating system:Windows 2.5.1.2600 (SP 3) # CPU type:Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz # CPU Speed (GHz):2.414 # System memory (GB):1.998 # Graphics card model:ATI Radeon HD 2400 # Graphics card driver:ati2dvag.dll # Desktop resolution:1680x1050 That's not very good at all. I couldn't play any of the newer games, but I don't really care about any new games aside from D3 and SC2 anyways. :D If you pick a lower resolution it would be even better performance.Just don't have like 3000 programs running with SC2. And keep your spyware scanner updated. | ||

I bought a new video card, a GeForce 9400 GT 1GB, so that should help a lot, since my video card was the main issue (256mb ONBOARD card haha).. but I want to know how much ram most people are running SC2 at. I just want to run it smoothly on the lowest settings possible so I can play competitively =[ 2GB of ram is not a problem. That card is horrible, change it if you can don't buy GPU based on how much ram it has it is just a marketing trick to add more ram then the card is able to address so if you can change it to HD4650 512mb DDR3, or HD4650 1GB DDR2(not sure what is better they should be about the same) HD4650 cost only few $ more, and it is much better, or if you can, and you ever plan to play anything else then SC2 on lowest then get a HD4770 or HD4850(if your PSU can support that) for little over 100$. Don't get hang up with how much ram the card have, there are very diferent speeds of ram, and that is only one of the things that is important for GPU power. You should also check if you don't have any viruses/spyware, and if nothing overheat in your system, lowest settings have very low requirements. | ||

the 9400 is not really a gpu designed for gaming. Take a look at this chart and find the 9400 http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/best-graphics-card,2569-6.html I hate to suggest this to you because you JUST bought a new graphics card, but if you are going to spend any money on your computer to improve SC2, you need to go get a new graphics card. Grab something like this if you want to go cheap - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500154 | ||

ofc if you run a lot of other stuff in the background more than 2 gb will make a difference, but just for sc2 it shouldn't no need for dozens of more people to confirm that it works. it's your graphics card and there are a couple of threads for this already which you can check. you can also make a blog if you need still need more specific graphics card help as those threads can offer, but I doubt that's even necessary | ||
