You could try to run 3D mark vantage and see how your computer stacks up to similar configurations. Maybe that could help determine if your hardware or installation is faulty in some way How do i run a 3D mark vantage? I'm not sure what to do here -_-'...I'm not THAT tech savvy  Thanks! | ||

It's a synethetic benchmark that tests to see how well your system runs in games Just download and run it. You can try posting your scores here, and we'll see if they're up to par  | ||

MOBO - Asus P5KC OS - Windows 7 CPU - intel dual core E2200 at 2.20ghz CPU spd - 2.20ghz Memory - 6g DDR2 Graphic card - Nvidia 9500GT 512mb Desktop resolution - 1680x1050 (recommended) HD - 500gb PSU - think its a 500w (don't know what the volt is) At the moment, I do not know what to upgrade first. Everything else is good though right? What should I do with my settings or what should I upgrade first? Every time I play sc2, 1v1 or more and custom games, it gives me an humongous lag spike and also choppy... reallly bad... Tell me what should I do? | ||

pentium D 2.66 ghz 2gb 533 mhz DDR2 nvidia geforce 6600 agp which runs 1v1 fine, but anything over that and it gets really bad. 3v3 is unplayable interestingly, upgrading the motherboard and graphics to an ati 5750 (about 5 generations newer) did not boost performance. however, switching over to a bottom line dual core e5300 (also 2.6ghz) made a world of a difference. bottom line, if you have a pentium D, buy a new cpu. | ||

Cpu: AMD Phenom II X4 B50 @ 3.4Ghz (unlocked from 2->4 cores) Mobo: ASUS M4A77T Memory: 4gb Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 1333Mhz Graphics: EVGA 1Gb GTX 460 SuperClocked Hard Drives: 500Gb Seagate 7200RPM PSU: OCZ Stealth Xtream 500W Built this for around £460, planning on upgrading to an SLI mobo, a 2nd GTX 460 and a Corsair 750/850W PSU at a later date. Runs SC2 on ultra @ 1920x1080 extremely well :-) | ||

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4, 3.00Ghz 2.99Ghz Memory: 1.50GB Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900XT Hard Drive: WDC ATA 80GB(OS), Maxtor ATA 189GB(Storage) I invested $120 on this machine via craigslist/ebay. It is no doubt in my mind that it cannot run Starcraft 2 very well. I also try my best to do video editing on this computer but the limit to what I can do is very minimal.  I've been meaning to get a new machine. I can't upgrade this old one at all. My motherboard doesn't even have a PCI-E slot... My budget for a new computer is around $600-$1100. I prefer if I can get something cheap but also very efficient. I want to be able to do video-editing and 3d modeling(not professionally but standard at least!) I'm looking at an i5 Processor, which is about $200. I don't know how costly a motherboard/cards are comparably... I can only ask for some help... Supposedly, the processor/video card costs around the same... i5 CPU: $200 motherboard(IDK which ones are good?): $150-$200 Graphics Card: $150-$200? That's already 600 under the drain... As far as what kind of RAM/PSU I need.. idk... And I'm a complete newbie at buying hardware thats more than $100. I'm afraid of heating issues and stuff that I hear a lot of stories about... | ||

Definitely upgrade your CPU first IMO It's not shit, considering I run an Intel E5200 @ 2.5GHz (no OC) and I run this game on near-maxed settings with 3D. But you should upgrade it nonetheless IMO. And I dont really know Nvidia cards, but I run an ATI Radeon 4850 HD which goes about 80-90 USD on Newegg and can run all the GPU intensive settings on this game at Ultra. So you should probably get the Nvidia equivalent of that too. | ||

How'd you get my old computer's specs? Anyway, FX cards are ancient, and weren't even very good when they were released. Anyway, for $1000 you can get this (there's a $25 MIR on the SSD): LITE-ON DVD-R WD Caviar Black 1TB HDD Kingston 64GB SSD Asus M4A88TD-V EVO Gigabyte Radeon 5830 1GB G.SKILL 4GB Ripjaw RAM AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Cost as of this post: $915.37 + Tax + S&H | ||

I would love to buy SCII, but for that I'll need a new computer (which mine is 6 years old, it's about time to get a new one anyways). I'm looking at http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP - Slimline Desktop / AMD Athlon™ II Dual-Core Processor / 3GB Memory / 640GB Hard Drive/9974673.p?id=1218205379770&skuId=9974673 and http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP - Pavilion Desktop / AMD Athlon™ II Processor / 4GB Memory / 750GB Hard Drive/1243488.p?id=1218240379197&skuId=1243488 Which would will be able to run SCII better? Note that I'm not looking to play it on the highest setting possible. Anywhere from mid-to-low is fine with me. Thanks in advance User was warned for this post | ||

Cpu: e2108 Overclocked @3ghz Memory: ddr2 2GB Graphics: HD 4850 Hard Drives: WD 640GB 8400rpm Can run SC2 on high no problem! 2v2 3v3 late games I have some problesm fps wise it drops to 18 to 28. But I don't play them that often, so nothing to complain here. | ||

Thanks in advance There's about a thousand threads about this in the dedicated tech support forum. Build your own. It's way cheaper and about as difficult as putting together legos. | ||
