    Should run just fine on low. I have to run mines on medium at 1280x720.

    yes, and next time use either one of the other starcraft threads or the "Will my notebook run it thread" stickied at the top. While we strive to be helpful there are places for these kinda questions.

    low'll be fine.

    medium at a lower res'll be fine (at 1600x900 on my 5650 I get around 40-50 fps on medium but that drops when stuff happens like a mothership shows up or the campaign changes the camera angle, it can drop down to 15 at times)
