anyone using window XP SP2? because i using SP2, and the my copy cannot play multiplayer/vs ai.

Processor: Intel Quad 6400
Ram: 6GB DDR3
GC: Gigabyte 1GB GTS250
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Currently opening torrent download speed 70kb + some backend program running + playing SC2 with no lag in ultra setting, except too much units (or some laggy custome map)

i need some advice for upgrading my gpu.
currently using 9500GT 512mb DDR3.
i got around RM600 budget now.
which gpu should i go in order to play SC2 smooooth in ultra or high setting?
and i'm using "chapbalang" power supply also.
i think is 220W.
should i upgrade it as well to support the new gpu?

yes get a 500W PSU and the rest for a GC

looks like at least RM 300 for the PSU and RM 300 for your remaining GC

im on
1680 x 1050
Intel Core2 Duo CPU E4600 @ 2.40GHz
MB Brand : Gigabyte
MB Model : EP35-DS3
GPU Type : NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT 512MB
RAM : 3500 MB DDR2

seems pretty decent to me .. but i played campaign first game only ... on ultra ... when scrolling a lil bit slow only ... later will put on high instead to see diff ...

yesterday just bought another 2gig ram ... winxp shows 3.5gig altogether ... my ram is 1+1+2

220W confirm not enough for good GC, atleast 350W

CM690 Chasis
Zantec 750 Power Supply
ASUS ATI 5850HD DDR5 1GB
4 GB DDR3 RAM
Core I5 2.88ghz on GiGabyte (Insert Random Code here) <-- cant remember that shit.. hahah
Windows 7 64 bit

Ultra Settings, 1600x900
Graphics Settings (Windows) - High Quality
Direct X 11

Run smoothly with no issues.

Notable difference from Win XP SP3 - Graphics & loading times are almost halved.

I also noticed that SC2 takes up loads of ram, up to 1.7 gb in long periods of time. (8 hours of gameplay)
I started noticing lag/crashes after 10-12 hrs, notably because google chrome does the same thing over time. (was running a 4gb transfer and google chrome on youtube at the same time - oops!)
A simple restart of the program fixes the issue.

Added on August 6, 2010, 5:11 pmhmm, i'd suggest an upgrade to win 7. other than that, all i can say is, unless you have an alienware laptop, laptops aren't meant for games anyway

i m not sure.i always have a black screen when cinematic video is played..=.=

i think i'm goin to get Sapphire HD5750..
any 5750 user here? mind to giv me some feedback?

Starcraft is CPU-based, so graphics card upgrade won't help as much as processr.

before i update to service pack 3 ... my service pack 2 still can play multiplayer/vs ai.

go to nvidia website and download the new drivers....i also kena that one last time...now its fixed

my friend can play on his laptop... pentium atom processor

guys.. different type of motherboard will affect the performance of a gpu or not? sorry for the noob question.

current setting at 1920 x 1080 res, all ultra except shadow on high to maximize frame rates on huge battles/scenes

proc : AMD Phenom II X4 955BE 3.2GHz@3.92GHz
RAM : Team Elite DDR3 2GB x2
HDD : WD Black Caviar 1TB SATA III
Mobo : Asus M4A88TD-V EVO
GC : Sapphire ATi HD5870
Monitor : Samsung SyncMaster 2494HS 23.6" + Samsung SyncMaster 932B plus 19" LCD Monitor

so far no lag except multi...
