10 years on... Starcraft 2 system requirements

Amazon have just notified me that my pre-order for StarCraft II has been dispatched. Yeeeha!

Its been 10 years since the original Starcraft was released. The minimum requirements back then were a poultry:

• Windows 95/98/NT 
• Pentium 90 MHz processor or higher 
• 16 MB RAM 
• DirectDraw-Compatible SVGA Video Card 
• DirectX 2.0 
• Double-Speed CD-ROM (Quad Speed for Cinematics) 
• 80 MB of disk space 
• Mouse/keyboard

Whilst, today's latest StarCraft II requirements are:

• Windows® XP/Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 
• 2.6 GHz Pentium® IV or equivalent AMD 
• 128 MB PCIe NVIDIA® GeForce® or ATI Radeon® card or better 
• 12 GB available HD space 
• 1 GB RAM (1.5 GB required for Windows Vista®/Windows® 7 users) 
• DVD-ROM drive 
• Broadband Internet connection 
• 1024X720 minimum display resolution

So an increase of:

• x28 CPU speed 
• x64 Memory 
• x154 Disk space

So, extrapolating in a silly fashion, StarCraft II in 2020 will require:

• 72.8 Ghz processor (this is unlikely due to heat-constraints, I suspect 
• adding more cores is likely) 
• 64GB memory 
• 1.8TB (1848GB) of disk space

Scary...
