Just wondering if anyone knows or has any opinions on what the best possible computer setup I could get for 1-2 thousand dollars would be... Mainly for gaming. *StarCraft II* <_< >_>



None.

Well the requirements for Starcraft 2 aren't out yet (not that I know of anyways), but it shouldn't require a beast of a machine.

Making your own computer would be best.Start at www.newegg.com for some goods.

CyberPower PCs are pretty good too and don't cost a whole lot of money to buy. They are always featured in PCGamer magazine and what not.

www.CyberPowerPC.com

The computer I "built" on CyberPower PC is almost twice as much as the one with basically the same components on newegg.

yea vista does suck so dual boot with linux after you get a Brand New Dell Inspiron i currently have one and it has the best dual core cpu,2 gigs of ram,120 gigs of space,GET THE BEST BATTERY,and i have vista home premium,its works just fine and is very very fast.plus thy said maybe even a windows 2000 could play starcraft 2 dont worry guys it doesnt take a maxed out AlienWare Desktop with Quad-Core Technology to not lag on B-net 0_o


o and my latop was $1000 exactly(without tax) ;)

Vista doesn't suck, just accept it.

Build your own computer from Newegg. Of the best deal i could find on a desktop I rebuilt the same computer on Newegg with a graphics card 2 series up, and it knocked off nearly 300 dollars.

NudeRaider -- EUD actions, specifically. The conditions remained. Today we can even have actions again, but they're all virtualized/whitelisted (not sure on the actual technical implementation) so you can only use them for specific intended purposed, not arbitrary code injections.

NudeRaider -- I mean yes, maps - through EUDs - were theoretically able to do that as well, but that was patched quickly.

not the map, the editor

Symmetry -- I vaguely remember Voy doing some ACE back in the day, but I had no idea EUDs could do that kind of shit. I am very much catching up on the technology

Symmetry shouted: NudeRaider Is EUD editor capable of writing shit onto the player's harddrive? That seems like it would be dangerous
yeah an editor that isn't allowed to write files sounds rather pointless, so I'd assume it can. Like most other programs too btw. and yes, obviously that's dangerous, but also kinda necessary. MS introduced that virtualization for exactly that reason.

Ultraviolet -- I don't think so. I think they shut that shit down after 1.16, maybe even earlier
