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? how are they going to impose an expiration date? if i avoid any windows updates can I circumvent this? Seems not

Hey folks,
I just wanted to drop in to clarify the situation a bit. As has been mentioned above, some websites have posted system requirements for the StarCraft II beta that were not accurate. The page where this information was found was a placeholder that should not have gone up. We will have more information about the system requirements once the beta starts.
Sorry about any confusion this may have caused. We did not intend to troll you. =)

I guess rts games as they're that much faster will require more fps than constant 20 fps though.
That and playing 2v2+ is almost impossible due to the amount of units.

Yes, true. You should add it to the OP if you would like to.

I would have to imagine that these are the minimum requirements for the game to basically load, and not a decent frame rate, however if blizzard did truly get them this low, congrats to them I guess.
Being on an 8400m graphics card and 2.2ghz dual core processor, I'm lucky to have 20ish fps at 800x600 resolution with newer games, the fps tends to crash if I turn the resolution up, so I have a hard time believing sc2 will be playable at those specs at 1024x768. We'll have to wait and see I guess.

Do they have a video of a machine running this? Does it look like shit?
|
Waaaaa! My (298e) computer can run SC2 : D
|
Im good I can run SC2 on High settings
|
I would play SC2 beta on the original cathode ray tube prototype if I got in.
|
Well, that settles it.
My crummy old laptop is too crummy to run SC2.
I should check and see if any of the college computers could do it... I want that chance of a beta opt-in!

Will this be a closed or open beta?

one of the biggest reasons starcraft was so big in south korea was because every computer could run starcraft, and lots of people could play with LAN and one cd key
they took out LAN
the least they can do it have low requirements
koreans aren't rich white kids who have lots of time on their hands

holy shit those r sexy low requirements.
