Stop worrying about the visuals. Rather, focus on the gameplay which is where its strength lies.
Yea, i agree with the PC pushing gaming limits, but this is blizzard here. They made all their games run on very modest hardware to ensure the largest possible player base to get the most sales. It's always been that way, I wished that blizzard would push the envelopes on visuals as well, but it'll prolly never be the case
Sc2 doesnt even have AA atm, which is so sad imo...i do hope they add it in later!

Meh, I'm not really impressed with visuals OR gameplay. Rather, I'd say its strength lies in the modding capability, as well as hopefully the story.
Blizzard stated that AA was going to be included in the final release - just not the beta.
The gfx scaling of this title is big, so anything from their minimum to insane rigs will still be properly used. (got 480 SLI rig and it worked quite hard with everything cranked up)
Agreed, What the hell are you CPU manufacturers doing with your product names! What the hell is AMD's version of a 2.6Ghz Pentium IV equiv?
