Update: Karune has replied to this list of requirements with the following comment:

Many fan sites are mirroring an article published by a Spanish Magazine called Micromania. To clarify, all system specifications made in that article are only speculations and are not official system specification for StarCraft II at all.

Like all Blizzard games, we aim to have a vast majority of PC owners to be able to run StarCraft II, but there are no official optimal or minimum specifications for the game at this time.

The Spanish gaming magazine Micromania has an article on StarCraft II in their latest issue. In this article we are, for the first time, enlightened on the current system requirements.

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

Optimal Requirements
GFX: Geforce 9000er or Radeon 3000er Series
CPU: Core 2 Duo 3 GHz or Athlon X2
RAM: 2GB with DualChannel mode


StarCraft II is at the moment in it's alpha phase, and it is possible that the system requirements could change before the release.

These requirements are vague at the moment, but that's expected at this point. They're also a bit higher than most of us foresaw, but they are very much in league with modern games.
