[Skyrim] System Requirements :(

GordonShephard

So recently I had the great idea of reading the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim minimum system requirements. What ensued was a tantrum of unheard of magnitude. Not only do I lack the necessary amount of RAM by one whole gigabyte, but my processor now looks like a little bitch. The only thing about my computer that won't be bent over and anally destroyed by Skyrim is my graphics card.

Skyrim's system requirements are as follows:

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
CPU: Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz or Althon X2 2.0 GHz
RAM: 3 GB
HDD: 15 GB
Graphics: 512 MB card
Sound Card: DirectX 9 Compatible
DirectX: Version 9.0c

Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7
CPU: Core 2 Quad 3 GHz
RAM: 3 GB
HDD: 15 GB free disk space
Graphics: 512 MB Graphics Memory
Sound Card: DirectX 9 Compatible
DirectX: Version 9.0c

The reason I bring my complaints here is because I would love to hear some recommendations for upgrades in my hardware. I'm on a different computer right now, so the only specifics I can give you are as follows:

2 gigs of DDR3 RAM
1.75 ghz AMD processor
Nvidia GeForce GT 220

Any suggestions?

Not to backseat mod or anything, but we do have a Skyrim thread that this is probably more appropriate in.

You could check out the computer build thread also Moes Stupid Technology Tavern would be a good place to poke around for this kind of information.
