Quoting Karl B.:
My PC just barely slips into the minimum requirements.


Mine almost reaches the recommended (only a 320mb 8800 gts card, but quad core 2.4 and 4gb ram somewhat makes up for it)

Yeah, well, that's Blizzard for you. They're always trying to make a product that most people can play, even on sub-standard PCs, unlike Crytek.

My 6 years old computer is above minimum, but I kinda figured that as I've played the beta. Just don't expect playing 3v3 or 4v4 with minimum requirement. I'm pretty sure you at least recommended or better to run that at a good frame rate with high graphics up. (I believe it's a lot more dependent on the CPU then Video Card, simply due to the amount of calculations from the amount of units.)
