Hi, I'm planning to purchase a laptop with Core i7 Q720M , but I was wondering if that core wouldnt be compatible to starcraft, beacuse I heard that some software/programs were specifically designed for dual-core and thus might not run on the new Quadcores. Do you guys any opinions on this?

Some software runs better because it has multicore support. Starcraft has no multicore support but it does not mean you cannot play Starcraft. So purchase away!

I'm sorry, but you sir are really really really really misinformed. Do you honestly think they'd make a dual or quad CPUs if it would in turn make software incompatible? You must be really young, or know nothing about computers.

It has nothing to do with your physical hardware, it has to do with your operating system. 64bit OSes (64bit XP/Vist/W7) have problems with SC's install and patching, so you have to use a 3rd party patching tool like BWAI Downgrader.

Finally its Core i7 not iCore 7. I'll be correcting your post and topic title.

Oh_Man -- NudeRaider
NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.
yeh thts straight up cheating
