From what I know, it seems the 8500GT is the lowest-performance card you want to be sure you can run it at the lowest settings at 1280x1024 and below. The 9300M is considerably worse, though. Sorry. Ah I see Thanks for the help too bad my desktop computer is worse than my laptop :/ I guess I would have to wait to see when it actually comes out to buy the game | ||

# CPU type:AMD Phenom(tm) 9500 Quad-Core Processor # CPU Speed (GHz):2.22 # System memory (GB):2.999 # Graphics card model:NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT # Graphics card driver:nvd3dum.dll # Desktop resolution:1680x1050 # Hard disk size (GB):144.298 # Hard disk free space (GB):55.5 I think I should easily run SC2 on max settings. I get 50+ FPS at 1680x1050 with max settings in TF2 and L4D. | ||

I have SLI too so I could easily upgrade. I'm not asking about the other parts of my computer cause I'm sure they are fine. an 8800gt should run sc2 near max no problem, as for your brothers 8800gts, there are 3 models, a 320MB 512MB and 640MB. the 8800gt is quite a bit faster than the 320/640MB models, but its a tad slower than the 512 | ||

Believe me, a 9600GT can get good frames on high on crysis, so i seriously doubt it will have trouble running Starcraft. I'm not so sure about the 9600gt being able to run Starcraft 2 at high. What resolution do you usually play at? If I had to guesstimate you would probably be able to do anywhere from low to medium at a standard resolution of 1680-1050. | ||

I really don't think the FX 5700 will even get close to running any modern games, might want to go with a cheap 512mb card, although maybe you'll get lucky and be able to run SC 2. No promises. My advice is just to buy a new (3-400 USD, easily) computer, because upgrading yours would be far too much hassle. Hmm, okay. I'm kind of broke right now since I just spent most of my money on a beta key through ebay. Hopefully I'll be able to save up enough before the beta's release. Where do you guys recommend buying from? Any particular brands that are reputable for gaming and not overpriced? | ||

Operating system:Windows XP CPU type: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.00GHz RAM: 1GB Graphics card model:NVIDIA GeForce 6600 GT Upgrading RAM is something I'd be able to do easily (I think, lol). I guess my main consern is although I've upgraded some parts on my machine over the years, its still around 5 years old. | ||

Well, if i were you i would definately upgrade the RAM because RAM is crazy cheap, and you've obviously got a PCI-E slot, so go with a 90-100 USD video card. $150 will probably stretch you out another couple years without games running too slowly, but a cpu upgrade is definately in order. | ||
