I'm playing on a Core 2 duo 2 ghz laptop, with 4 gb ram, ati hd 4330 (512 ram) and it moves perfectly at 1280 with high details. I didn't try higher resolutions yet.
SC2 eats a lot of RAM, pc shows me 3 gb USED while in game.
Hope this helps you!

Are Hotkeys customizable?
Hotkeys at german version are
QWER ASDF YXCV 
For every race its pretty damn good

I can't stand V for overlord and Y for relay point., why not the old O and R? (R is used now for queen making more larvae)

i don't like the thing when you lose a CC (f.e) but you still have money and scvs to build new one you get revealed + when you play elimination race. really dumb. hopefully someone can suggest them to change it.

You don't get revealed instantly and the counter stops as soon as you start building a new one. This will effect the outcome in ~1/1000000 games, I only saw one of them in Starcraft and in that game I would say that it would have been fair for the terran to win instead of the toss. The terran left when the toss only had one pylon and he had a whole base, since he couldn't find the pylon while the toss carrier army was picking off his units.

So I went 4-1 in the practice games, 8-2 (computer crash) in the placement games, so I'm in the platinum division. Artosis is #1 with like 80 games played, ROFL! (something like 58-23)
I'm randoming completely; only got Protoss once in 15 games.

im in platinum #6, anyone know what the different numbers mean?

You have to kill every one of their town halls to reveal any other buildings they have made (like hiding Extractors or Pylons in order to stay alive when they've clearly lost.) Sure, there are games where one building has made a difference, but those are one-in-a-million occurrences, but the amount of fucktards you'll see on Battle.Net that decide to hide Pylons after a lost game are far more common than that.

Artosis is #1 with like 80 games played, ROFL! (something like 58-23) (As of this moment, Artosis is #1 in Division 7), considering it placed me 7th in that division just for going 8-2, I wouldn't praise the accuracy of the ladder after only a day

i remember seeing time cost for virtually everything, building units, buildings, researching.
question
when you use the nexus's ability that speeds it up, does the time value display adjust also or stay the same?

The action icon area is 5x3 and I guess it would fit perfectly on the left side of the keyboard qwert asdfg zxcvb
I believe someone has done it on W3, is it possible to make it so in SC2B?

hey testers I have made a guide for everyone to be able to stream. with perfect quality.
[Guide]Streaming SC2 Beta
The guide is meant for SC2 Beta+Pro Caster, and I covered most of the errors that you might encounter while using it as well. I'll be adding more as I hear from the current users who are using Pro Caster already.

What I don't like so far about SC2 is the fact that it tells you your workers are under attack, I wish they would remove that.

Because they're imba? haha joking, I don't know I heard someone on the stream say everyone was protoss? Could be wrong. Question - Does the new Protoss speed up ability only apply to one building at a time or is it an AoE? Can each nexus do it or are you limited to one use? Can someone use it when they're building the colossus and tell me how much faster it actually builds?
The Colossus buildtime is ca 54sec without chrono boost (the nexus speed-ability) and ca 37 sec with chrono boost. Although chrono boost itself lasts only around 23sec so you have to do it twice.

question
i've seen that ghosts shoot even though they are cloaked. can anyone actually confirm if it gives warning to the opponent, or is it the same as in bw when you get attacked by DT and when you check your whole control group is gone

DT's really only wiped out a bunch of stuff in BW because it would not ping the mini map if they killed units in one swing. Ghost... could never do that before . However, ghost look pretty badass in sc2.

do they know how many servers there are, or ranked ladders and stuff?
i see platinum and gold leagues, but dunno how many of them are there?

question
is the pylon radius more circular now, or is it still like sc1 where it was pretty much square, with a circle visual
can you just move larvae around the hatchery where you want? relying on a bug for only moving them to the left was dumb so i imagine they took that out. i tihnk it would be an ok idea to be able to control larvae movement - it adds that "little edge" factor.
