SC2 System requirements have made me order a new laptop because they are so low on my current one and it takes forever to play/test a map and it freezes more than i can blink in a minute. So i've been wondering what types of computers do you play and make maps on? Desktop or Laptop? Windows or Mac? what are your computer specs like graphics and etc. I have a dell laptop with nothing short of sorry.
Windows desktop, if you're serious about mapping i'd suggest you get both a mac and a pc, i believe Gex from eeve.org ran into some problems when he was lacking the apple system.
If you're looking for something that runs starcraft, anything will do really, dont be too weary of the video cards, starcraft can run a lot of settings on your processor(s).
I'd suggest at least 4 gigabytes of ram and at least 3 decent processors, as for a video card, you're set with anything better than a 8600 GT.
i have a dell laptop that does just fine. on high/u;ltra settings its fine unless in 1st/3rd person mode, but at least it works well enough for mobile pc'ing. my tower is almost a year old now but its pretty nice for sc2 currently;
nvidia geforce gts 240
intel i7 quad 2.67
and 8 gb of ram
thats the basics. i make play on my hd tv from my pc too.
if u want to play good u should aim for at least 500+ MB nvidia card , 1000 if its ati..
processor should be at least 2.0+ dual core.. 4+ gigabytes of 800 mhz ram
note - if u use processor with higher than 2.0 dual core u will be better with a ram of 1066 mhz they are better with same type of processor (1066 mhz )
this is a medium setup , this is a setup for playing the game , some map maker may help u there :)
