what's SC2?

I googled it lol

512 MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8800 GTX or ATI Radeon® HD 3870 or better

You're using a
Graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 5470 Graphics

The 3870 is what I own... the 5470 is only a mobile one:

Pipelines80 - unifiedCore Speed *750 MHzShader Speed *750 MHzMemory Speed *1800 MHz
Googled yours, umm, the 3870 only runs at 777 and 1120 memory.. I don't see a problem..but it might overheat from time to time so don't play it long hours, give it breaks

Personally don't game on a laptop, their not really made for high end gaming..not sure why you want to dream of gaming on a laptop, a desktop is soooooo much better due to upgrading and more space less heat..

the speeds of the graphics card are the speed at the rendering and how much information it can take on and pass to the cpu.. it's more of a wiki then me describe, I'm not all logic in knowing every part and what it does.
