Quickie Question regarding SC4 & neetbooks

[MsProll21 0]

I had given my laptop to my brother so besides my desktop I have a handy little lightweight netbook. Not the most powerful, but it's great for school. Anyway the specs are Win 7, 250GB Hard Drive, Intel Atom 1.6Ghz CPU & 2GB Ram.

Now since netbooks lack having the optical drive, can I just purchase a new copy of SC4 for download and load it that way? Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

The game relies on an actual CD copy in order to verify the "legitimacy" of the game at startup.. so I expect with no CD drive that you will be out of luck.

Ah man!!! That's too bad, oh well, I'll just stick with playing on my desktop. Thanks

As long as you had a USB port and a bit of money you could buy a portable CD/DVD drive for your netbook
