Starcraft RPG

Will my laptop be able to handle starcraft 2?

I have a 256 MB NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M Processor. The Laptop is about 2 years old and is a Lenovo thinkpad. Do you think my computer can handle starcraft 2 well?

1. According to the official site: http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?articleId=26242 It requires 128 MB PCIe NVIDIA® GeForce® 6600 GT or better, so I think it should work.
2. Your computer capability sounds like it can hold it, it's just the matter of it overheating. Back when I played World of Warcraft on my laptop I got about 2-3 hours of game play on it before it randomly shut off. So remember to have a overheating pad or something like that for when you're playing. Cheers :). Happy gaming!
3. No, or possibly, but very poorly. You have two things working against you: the Quadro FX cards render using OpenGL, a graphics language for 3D graphics programs. Starcraft 2 uses Direct X (for windows machines). You are likely to get little or no graphics acceleration from that card. Another thing working against you is that your card is a laptop card that is already a couple years old. Laptop cards are slower than their desktop counterparts. To run starcraft 2 "well", you would need a gaming desktop with a recent Direct X graphics card.
