StarCraft II Beta Test Opt-in
The StarCraft II beta-test period is coming in the months ahead! If you'd like a chance to participate, now's the time to let us know. Simply go to the "Beta Profile Settings" page in Battle.net account management to go through the new beta opt-in process and upload a snapshot of your system specs. During this process, you'll also have the opportunity to opt in to future betas for other Blizzard Entertainment games. Please note that even if you've opted in to our betas previously, you'll need to complete this new process and upload your current system specs to have a chance to be invited.

For more information, see the FAQ -- or create a Battle.net account to opt in now. If you have an unused beta code from BlizzCon 2008 or WWI 2008, visit this site to enter your code.

This new Battle.net thing seems pretty useful.

Anyone know the MINIMAL PC requirements for this game?

or have an idea of it?

[way2quik]

No clue. BETA isn't out yet.
Some say it's high, some say an average system can run it.

Update:
StarCraft 2 Graphics Requirements Confirmed - Contents of this analytical article was later confirmed by documentation from Blizzard/AMD.

Recently I was asked about the demands and requirements StarCraft II would place upon a user’s computer system. The first section I have put together is a simple system that will most likely boot and operate the game to a basic degree. Underneath I have also gone into more formal analysis of some of the specifications and demands we know StarCraft II to have from what Blizzard has released so far, and what is in that section is designed to be said with certainty. Something like this, or better should be used to play StarCraft 2.

I wouldn't believe it until you see it on Blizzards own website.
