Blizzard has always made a point of aiming for hardware's lowest common denominator in order to reach as broad an audience as possible with their software. According to a recent hardware survey conducted by Valve, most gamers seem able to meet the minimum specifications just fine. But, as any true PC gamer knows, the minimum specs are nothing but text to take up box space; it's the recommended specs that matter.

While these specs have not been confirmed by Blizzard Entertainment, they do not seem too far-fetched. Stay tuned to Big Download for any and all StarCraft 2 news.
