    Hey Im new to pc gaming and really have no idea what these system specs mean. I have a pretty cheap laptop but i hear sc2 can run on pretty low settings. If someone can plz tell me if i can run the game or not. if not it is not a big deal i would just like to know.\ 
     
    here are my specs 
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M 430@ 2.27GHZ 
    2.26 GHz 
    3.8 GB ram 
    Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD (Core i5) 
    Direct x10 
     
    I am going to guess my video card or whatever will be the problem and again sorry if i left out something or put in extra information I have no idea what Im doing

    Sorry, but I really doubt an intergraded graphics solution will work.

    I don't think people understand what the   Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator HD is. 
     
    It's not REALLY a Graphics card.  At least, it's not a dedicated one.  It is just using the processor to pretend to be a graphics card. 
     
    Most games require a dedicated graphics card.  Something from Nivida, or ATI.  This has none.  Because of that, there is a better then good chance it cannot run Starcraft 2.

    Are you sure you don't have a dedicated graphics card though? 
     
    I've not heard anything indicating Starcraft 2 can run without a dedicated graphics card...  IF it can, that's some pretty amazing scaling Blizzard built into the game.
