I am looking to run StarCraft 2 on the highest settings possible for my gaming rig, which will feature an i3, 8GB RAM and the AMD 6850 GPU.
From what I've seen WINE runs StarCraft 2 between 2-4 times slower than Windows 7.
Does anyone know if there is a cheaper operating system than Windows 7 for running StarCraft 2 at the same quality? I would be paying $99 for the OEM version which seems pretty extortionate.
I have looked at pay-based solutions like Crossover by CodeWeavers, which would allow it to run without Windows, but it doesn't fare any better for performance than WINE would.
Looks like Windows is pretty extortionate for their software but Apple is pretty extortionate with their hardware.
