Is there ANY WAY I can play starcraft 2 with a Geforce 320M graphics card? I use a mac, and everything else checks out all right when it comes to the system requirements. But the weird thing is that it displays a message that says my operating system is too old to play starcraft 2, and I have frikking snow leopard!

"I use a mac"

There ya go.

Just wait a few months. When did you buy your mac? Give me the specs.

Starcraft 2 works for macs, so there is no need to wait a few months. But all the specs fit the system requirements except that one. (I have a microsoft computer, but it is being repaired and I don't really want to wait 2 weeks)

Well, it may say that, but they don't test as much on macs, so it's worth waiting for an official word from blizzard.

They usually release a complete FAQ on it after like a month.

But even if I had a microsoft computer would 320M be enough?

320 megabytes of ram?

No. Even WoW requires at least 512 Mb to run, but that's a super slow game. 2 Gb is about what you want.

For starcraft 2, I'd say you want at least a gb of ram.

lol no not ram, the graphics card. Its a Geforce 320M something something.

So your RAM meats the specifics, but your video card.....I have no idea. I use ATI somthing, which is pretty new.

Just fiddle around with it for a couple hours and see what happens.

Your video card was never designed for gaming. It's a multimedia card (basically a bottom of the line lets play a movie card).

I suggest upgrading to an Nvidia 9000 or 200 series gamming card (9800 or a 260-285)

Well, my other computer has a intel core duo T6600 2.20GHz/800Mhz processor and a 256MB ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330 graphics card, would that work?

(I have no clue what I just said as far as that technical stuff goes)

Possibly. Probably not well. That's a five year old card in terms of peak performance. Mobile chipsets just can't kick it like the real thing.

However, I personally know that you can run it fine on an nVidiot 9500, which is a half-gig $80 card.

here are the system requirements including video cards requirements.

I spent the weekend upgrading the Snow Leopard and have 3 gigs of ram coming tomorrow to beef up my system for gaming in general.

One final question: Will it work on an Alienware M11x?

(Asking this question for a friend. I don't have one of these awesome computers, sadly.)
