Will My Laptop Work With Skyrim (really urgent!)

[bben46]

What that site is trying to do is help those with weak computers decide whether or not to pay big bucks for a game that may not even run on their computer. No, it's not perfect, but they do provide a valuable service. My recommendation is to wait a bit on Skyrim - unless you have some cash you are willing to risk on a game that may not play at all. After it has been out a week we will have a much much better idea of what it will run on, and how good - or bad it will run with various setups.

 

One of the major disadvantages to playing games on a laptop is they cannot be upgraded to take advantage of newer technology that comes along - all you can do is get a newer one and hope it lasts a few years before becoming a relic of days past.

The processor needed minimum is 2ghz and i only have a 1.6ghz its a AMD Dual Core Processor E-350

 

what settings do you reccomend i play on, medium? because thats what the fallout games and oblivion suggested

and it worked smoothly and i passed all the other tests on the ''caniplayit'' websites but the processor let me down by 0.4ghz :/ would it be a big deal. because all my other bethesda games work nicely.

 

im really wanting this for pc, but i cant see why it wont work because of 0.4ghz when the other bethesda games i play work fine on medium settings.

 

My Laptop Specs I Have Are

 

Acer Aspire 5250 (15.6in screen)

Windows 7 Ultimate (64bit)

Processor: AMD Dual-Core Processor E-350

AMD Radeon HD 6310

4GB System Ram

750GB HDD Space

DirectX 11

DVD-Super Multi DL Drive

Internet Access

 

and with those specs the bethesda games reccomend medium settings when i first install the game and it runs smoothly with no problems, and oblivion asks for a minimum of 2ghz but it runs fine on medium settings at 1.6ghz? something is wrong there then lol

 

im downloading gamebooster to see if that will help my chances of higher settings but im happy if skyrim had the textures of oblivion personally, im more into the story instead of the beauty, so if i have medium to low settings and it looked like oblivion like that then ill be happy.

Regards,

Michael.
