#2 - Wrong, a MacIntosh will do just as fine as a PC.
#7 - You do indeed understand how ridicilous it sounds with 8GB as minimum requierments for the game in harddrive space, That is 2 full DVDs - it just sounds stupid, the internet connection sounds too high for minimum requierments - why should it need much more to send data than any other game? Otherwise I think you could be pretty close.

8GB hard drive space required for a lot of modern games, like Dark Messiah of M&M, Rally Dirt, Lost Planet,

8GB needed for the game or for free space? And why do Lost Planet require that? I've got it on Xbox 360 and it's 1 DVD, how can it require 8GB on a computer?

probably not too high.

When Starcraft came out P 166 mhz 32 ram and 4mb 3dfx card was standart.
P II 300mhz 64 ram and a Voodo 2 card was Powerhouse.

What did starcraft require ?
P 75mhz 16 ram and a 2mb card ( at least i played it on this system in 1998)

So i guess Starcraft 2 will even be playable on a Athlon XP 2600 512ram with Radeon9800/Geforce6600 card or similar stuff.
They know that one of the reasons so many players played Broodwar was that it had so low requirements.

They will remain that strength for sure.

I hope so.

The graphics look quite similar to Dawn of War, quality wise.

I mean I don't see graphics that look like they wouldn't belong in that game.
Having that in mind, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade RECOMMENDED requirements are:

2.4 Ghz
512 RAM
3.5 Gigabyte hard disk space
nvidia geforce 3 or equivalent with 64MB video ram
sound blaster x-fi series

#28 Dawn of War is like 3 years old now (and Dark Crusade is an expansion, it didn't alter the requiremets)? I think that a better comparasion would be Company of Heroes which also uses the Havoc engine (someone said SC2 will use Havoc). The Company of Heroes requirements are:

Minimum System Requirements
System: 2.0GHz Intel Pentium IV or equivalent
RAM: 512 MB
Video Memory: 64 MB
Hard Drive Space: 6500 MB

Recommended System Requirements
System: 3.0GHz Intel Pentium or equivalent
RAM: 1024 MB
Video Memory: 256 MB
Hard Drive Space: 6500 MB

So I believe it'll be something like that, possibly slightly higher recommended ones (if they decide to use some DX10 stuff).

The only requirement that changed with the expansion "Dark Crusade" was a higher CPU.

Personally I think that SC2 will definately divide the community as many people will not be able to play it on their PCs. It will probably bring many players from CnC3, AoE3 and DoW.

I installed sc:bw on my old pentium 2@233 with 64mb ram and a GeForce 2 graphic card. It was almost unplayable. The frame rate was about 40 at start and fell under 20 on large battles.

Whit all do respect, my friend, when you started to play sc it was on a very low skill level, u probably had very low framerate and didnt realize
it because, at that time, it didnt matter. I you wish to play starcraft on a
semi-pro level (ladders, cws, nws, ect.) you will need at least a Pentium 3gh or a athlon 3000+ (2500+) with a radeon 9800pro/xt on MINIMUM
settings to get 60+ framerate which is required for normal gameplay.

I've played on Duron 800 GForce 2 Mx 32 mb and 256 MB and it was fine, even with great battles nothing stopped even for a moment, i've played CW and so on...

Absolutely no chance whatsoever.

I was playing starcraft on a Pentium 166 mhz 32 ram 28.8k connection and it only lagged in 4v4s. This is in 1998-1999...
