Looks like I've decided on the laptop thats cheapest on that list (save money, can get other stuff with extra money).

So would an Intel T4200, 2GB Ram and ATI HD4650 with 512MB be enough for SC2?

I personally think that 2GB Ram isn't gonna be enough to run sc2 considering the fact that it's a strategy game and the fact that you're gonna be running it on a laptop.


I can always upgrade the RAM if it isn't enough.
But are the CPU and GFX fine though?

Do you think this will run SC2 at 1024x768 resolution max setting w/ shadow off possibly..

E6750@2.67ghz
GTS 250 512mb
3gb ram

The GPU is fine, so is the ram 2GB is enough, the CPU is a bit questionable the T4200 is 2GHz, but it only has 1MB L2 cache.
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=37251

Here is a list of 25 CPU's tested in DoW2 for some comparison.
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/aid,677599/Dawn-of-War-II-Benchmark-review-with-25-CPUs/Reviews/

The Pentium DC E 2160 is very similar to the t4200, and really struggles with DoW2. With the extra 200 MHz the t4200 will perform better, but the 1 MB cache really hurts in games.

I think this laptop will surpass the minimum specs, but the CPU won't quite reach the recommended. Single player and most 1v1 games will probably be fine, but large battles and UMS games may send frame rates tanking.

You should max SC2 no problem, even with higher resolutions.

Hmm, I think I should still get it.
Apparently, I can upgrade my CPU to a P/T series with more cache (3/6MB L2 Cache) in the future (if I have the money) if SC2 doesn't run well.

Worth it then?
(This is by looking at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_Core_2_microprocessors#Dual-Core_Notebook_processors), the socket in my laptop will be a Socket P.

Yea that would solve any potential problems, I'd go for it then. Its considerably cheaper than the rest of the notebooks. There is still no guarantee what SC2 will perform like, you may end up being fine with the t4200, and save yourself a few hundred bones.

I think you'll need to upgrade your gpu.coz i'm not sure you'll be able to run sc2 on integrated graphics.if you need decent frame rates then i suggest you'll need at least a 8800 gt.

I don't know what's with all of this talk of upgrading laptop components. Opening a laptop is an ordeal that will more than likely just leave it less functional than before. And good luck replacing parts. I believe RAM sticks used in laptops aren't easily available, and laptops with integrated graphics more than likely have no PCI-E slot. And if yours does, you probably still won't be able to fit a card in since your computer was made that size specifically for the components it had stock.

Yeah, that looks great, the gts 250 is just a rebranded 9800GT, so it will run it fine.

Neither, they are all very overpriced.. If you aren't a gamer, and don't feel like building your own, then get a $500 prebuilt at your local store or something.

I haven't read the entire thread, but, is it possible to play SC2 on my brand new laptop? My friend tells me that no matter what a laptop probably can't run SC2 and I would need a good desktop to do that.
