My processor is a dual core and this is what is coming up on my system snapshot. Does this mean I am a little bit short on processing power? If so wth should I do. I am a poor college kid.

You have two ~1.848 cores, meaning ~3.9ghz combined. I'd be shocked if SC2 doesn't properly support multi-threading.

SC2 development started long before multiple cores became mainstream, so I doubt that two cores come close to yielding double performance.

That being said, you should still be fine, because multiplying 1.8 by only 1.3 already gives the minimum requirement. Just don't expect performance on par with a 3.9 GHz single core.

I think I'll just have to try it myself when it comes out. I'm a notch above every requirement except the CPU, where I have a 1.87 core 2 duo. Maybe the dual cores will make up for the missing MHz.

Edit: replies above me give me hope

scratch that, it does run on my w7 (xp is a total no-go though), although there are hugeeeee slowdowns from time to time (from 20+fps to like <5fps), usually caused by fights but not always.
anyway not really playable, but enough to try it out. would be playable without the slowdowns for sure though.

damnit my computer doesn't fit these "low requirements"

why the hell did my dad choose such a fucking crappy computer just because its cheap i mean... -_-

i got the client downloaded but i open the joint and it doesn't even go to any log-in screen it just goes black and exits out to a ErrorReporter saying it crashed

does this mean my comp def can't run it?

apparently some people under the req's can run it, but maybe mine sucks way too much >_<

Yes, significantly.

There's a chance, IMO. G965 should be comparable to the minimum specs. It's worth giving it a shot.

I'm using G965 in beta and can run it somewhat smoothly on low settings. It really isn't enjoyable though, I'd upgrade (I plan to). After watching streams running the game in high settings, it looks much smoother and enjoyable than my low settings.

Anybody who has played with specs similar to mine, do you think I will be able to play @ 1920x1200 with all ultra settings? Seems from what I've heard that I'll only be able to handle high-ish if I want big battles to stay smooth
Oh no
