I first played SC2 on my 286 which could barely handle it, but it works fine on my current machine. (pentium II , in DOS modus)

For a nice website on SC2 look at:

There's also a fan-based project that tries to create a worthy successor of SC2 (SC3 was quite a dissapointment after playing the original). It's called starcontrol Timewarp and looks quite promissing, they already have a working and playable combat engine :
