Spanish mag Micromania recently visited the Blizzard Entertainment offices with the intent of procuring a preview of StarCraft 2. While there, they dug up some specs that may or may not be official.

Minumum Requirements
GFX: GeForce 7/8 Series or Radeon 1000/2000 with 256 MB RAM
CPU: Pentium 4
RAM: 1 GB
Internet: ADSL 1 Mbit

Recommended Requirements
GFX: GeForce 8000 or Radeon 2000 series with 512 MB RAM
CPU: Core 2 Duo or Athlon X2.
RAM: 2 GB
Internet: ADSL 3 Mbit

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.
