Well not just Korea... but to have access to more people in the global market, they have to keep these specs down as low as possible. Electronics are higher than balls on a giraffe in some countries.

unless they've changed it they still will have LAN, but you just need to connect to Battle.net first to access it

thought the point of LAN was mostly for latency purposes

although i guess for lan parties it helps to have only lan but no internet

I still play a game with these minimum requirements
* Windows 95 or NT or superior
* Pentium processor at 90 MHz or higher
* 16 MB RAM
* 80 MB available in the hard disk
* CD-ROM, 2x or higher
* DirectX 3.0 or higher


I think I'll be OK with whatever specs blizzard decides to release. Pretty games are fun and all, but it is not the end all, be all.
I don't have mono anymore. Woooo!

I kinda feel like a noob asking this, but how important is it to have the "recommended" operating system? It says Windows XP SP3 but I have SP2, will that be a problem?

And btw, my computer is quite far above the other requirements.

You should update it, its free.

But no it wont matter in the performance of the game, afaik SP3 is a lot about security fixes and not as much about performance.

Probably depends on where you live? I haven't been to a LAN party that doesn't have internet in my entire life =/ (and yes, I LAN regularly)

I would just LAN for the social experience + latency, both of which will apply for SC2.

So, if I have a nvidia geforce fx 5200 then what would be a good recommendation for a decent video card to actually be able to run/play sc2 with?

lol seriously?

obviously you would be able to play the game, but with pretty much all the settings turned to minimum.
When they see MC Probe, all the ladies disrobe.

Hey admins, that thread about beta out now might be real.

Multiple people have posted screenshots on the Battle.net forum from different parts of the download

edit: actually on the pics it only shows up as 1.64gb .. that sounds far too little. And yup far too little people talking about it too, probably just one troll posting on multiple accounts. oh well.
