:O, poor soul, someone get this man a new computer right away
me, my 2nd comp, a real cheapo @ $200, can run it, granted i spent $60 upgrading it with an xtra gb of ram & an ATI 4350, jut put everything on low settings & ir runs incredibly smoothly, tho this i may be able 2 run @ med, maybe even high smoothly, but i have no intention on getting this, only RTS i like are ones made by relic, tho they let me down with Dawn of War 2

quite cheap to get a computer capable of playing every game, should cost between $300-$400, all you need is a cheapish graphics card, 2gb ram, & should be @ the very least a dual core processor, but my p4 processor hasnt had ANY trouble running games ever, i can play Left 4 Dead 2, Crysis & Fallout 3 without any trobuls & it looks a little better thna a console game with the cheap ATI 4350 card, well atleast more detailed in certain games, @ the entrance to the vault the words on the skeletons signs were increibly easy to make out, all blurs on the ps3 & 360 versions

no, it shouldn’t run, but you could spend $30/bout 20 pounds, on a graphics card to be capable of playing it on it’s recomended settings
I would reccomend the ATI 4350 or the slightly better Nvidia 8400GS

And this is the sort of thing Blizzard does right that most other developers just don’t seem to get.

I have 6 computers, a laptop, and Netbook and none of them will run this game. My last Card Upgrade was years ago, the Nvidia 6900, and not the PCIe kind either…Sigh
