and holy jeezes they are Low Requirements indeed:
The minimum system requirements for the Starcraft II Beta are as follows:
PC Minimum Requirements:
• Windows XP SP3/Vista SP1/Windows 7
• 2.2 Ghz Pentium IV or equivalent AMD Athlon processor
• 1 GB system RAM/1.5 GB for Vista and Windows 7
• 128 MB NVidia GeForce 6600 GT/ATI Radeon 9800 PRO video card
• 1024x768 minimum display resolution
• 4 GB free hard space (Beta)
• Broadband connection
*Note* the final requirements for Starcraft II have not yet been determined. Due to ongoing development the minimum requirements listed above are subject to change at any time. During this phase a Mac version will NOT be available, please check back.

note: a couple weeks ago, there was a similar but incorrect System Requirements page that went up seemingly for SC2 beta but it did not specify. It was a mistake as confirmed by Blizz rep. These requirements seem real, they specify SC2 beta and it's right around the corner

hey, my lame laptop can run it if the requirements are similar to this.

Yay, we are one half an inch closer to beta!
And I am assuming that this is the minimum requirements and not the recommended. Keep in mind that the minimum tends to be unplayable yet functional.

Pentium 4!! Amd athlon, who would have expected such low requirements?
those video cards are really old and low end as well, low ram.. just wow :o
|
The requirements are still impressively low in my opinion, seems like I have two computers able to run the game here. 
Does "1024x768 minimum display resolution" mean that we can't go down to 800x600 res? That was my plan as I play WC3 and many other games with that resolution so the mouse works as similar as possible.
Well I guess its time to move on.

Last time fake specs were posted, Blizzard CM said they would post specs when beta started

Link please.

Those are quite low but seems in line with Blizzard's original idea to make it available to a large portion of the public. Playing it on max settings will probably require quite the boss of a computer.

yeah but last time it didnt specify SC2 beta, it was just copy pasted from WoW sys reqs page.
this leads me to believe the beta is actually, finally, just about ready to come out. they're probably finishing up everything right now as we speak
|
I'm gonna max this shit out lol

I currently have Windows 7 Release Candidate 7100. Currently, Microsoft is trying to phase out these RC versions floating around by imposing an expiration date starting March 1, 2010.
As of right now, the system specs uploaded to my battle.net beta profile contain this OS version. I'm planning on upgrading to the released version, but do you guys think it would be beneficial to update quickly and then reload my new system specs? Will they skip over me entirely for Beta if they see I have a release candidate version?

I played WC3 at the min reqs and it was pretty much unplayable so keep that in mind

I doubt they will go more in depth than just check if its XP, vista or 7 as its kinda pointless as you can just very easily update it at any point.

how are they going to impose an expiration date? if i avoid any windows updates can I circumvent this?

Yeah, I would get that taken care of.

Weird as I had the pleasure of playing WoW at a computer that just barely went over the min reqs and with constant 20 fps I was able to enjoy the game quite a bit, although peak times at big cities was a no-no.
I guess rts games as they're that much faster will require more fps than constant 20 fps though.
