How fluidly can my computer run SC2?

The requirements of SC2 are128 MB PCIe NVIDIAŽ GeForceŽ 6600 GT
My graphics card is GeForce 6150SE nForce 430

I know the card isn't the minimum required, but I've played games with equal requirements relatively well.

I don't know your card, but once I tested SC2 using a GeForce 7050 and it lagged so bad (on lowest settings) that even the commands were delayed. I imagine that it would be as bad using a GeForce FX 6200 too.
Make your conclusion comparing your card to the two I mention.

I was afraid that would happen.
My dreams of playing SC2 are crushed. :-(

Yeah, that's going to be onboard graphics, or even if it is a discrete card, the very worst discrete card you can get. No SC2 for you, at all.

I'm use an 8800 GTX with 768mb memory on 1920x1200 with everything on High (by default) except for textures because you need 1gb of graphics memory for Ultra. Everything is very smooth, haven't noticed any jerks at all.

I do not think that is good enough for starcraft2.
If you don't really have the cash but you have a pci-e slot, you can spring for like Radeon HD 4650 or maybe GeForce GT 240. They cost about 70 dollars.
I would just build a whole new computer seeing as the motherboard sounds like its pretty old.

My budget is one that the only thing I can afford is Starcraft 2. So yeah...
I'm not gonna be playing for a while.

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM
[08:48 am]
NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation
[08:47 am]
NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider -- 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.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?
[2026-9-21. : 4:14 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
[2026-9-21. : 3:44 pm]
Oh_Man -- 1 action is selecting the unit and another action is moving it
[2026-9-21. : 2:58 pm]
Vrael -- 240*12 is 2880, where is the other 3000 APM?
