For the last 3 months I have been beta testing Starcraft 2 and I can tell you a lot of people are in for a shock when they try and run Starcraft 2 on their PC.
If you try and run Starcraft 2 with only 1 gig of ram you will be in for a Lag fest, you might want to look for at least a 2 gig kit and if you’re running windows Vista or 7 you will want a 4gb kit of ram, I found 2 gig was ok “Just” on the small maps but would freeze up on bigger maps and if your freezing up you will get booted from other players.
Blizzard recommend a 512 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GTX or ATI Radeon® HD 3870 or better so a lot of people will be looking for Video card upgrades too . Setting up a system for a game like Starcraft 2 requires balance, if your upgrading your video card see that you will not be bottle necked buy your ram or CPS
