I wonder what the specs for Heart of the Swarm will be.

With Starcraft 2 a little more than a week before release (July 27th), the final system requirements have been revealed, according to 1UP. And it looks like it can be run on the recommended settings if you already have a decent system. Also, the game should be able to run on a wide range of systems, based on the minimum specs, so the folks with older systems will still be able to play to their heart's content. It has to be noted though, that in the specification notes, the minimum system requirements may be different because of eventual changes in the programming of the game (i.e. patches). And if you are playing the beta, you should already have a clear indication of how well you can run the game. Check out the Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty system requirements below.
