eMachine : III

» Fri May 27, 2011 1:03 pm

I have an eMachine E528 laptop with an Intel Celeron 900 processor, Intel GMA 4500m, 2 GB DDR3 memory, Windows 7 and a 250 GB HDD. Can i play Morrowind on this, or is it too weak? I played morrowind for 3 years on my Xbox but i always wanted to try it on pc

I would think so. Morrowind is speced for ~2002 tech.

Ok a friend told me that the graphics card for this specific laptop is terrible and theres no way it would work. Correct me if im wrong but wasnt the system requirements for morrowind massive at the time? And another question would i have to buy a mouse or would the stupid touch pad of the laptop work?

Intel GMA chipsets are awful, if you can upgrade that, do. It might work even without an upgrade, no promises though.

As far ast he touchpad, you can use it or a mouse, whichever you prefer. Mouse may be easier.

It should easily run it. Just don't expect 60FPS with max draw distance and MGE enabled.

Ok i plan on getting a wireless mouse anyways the touch pad is awful for anything. And does anyone know if this particular laptop is easily upgraded? Im wanting a new graphics card for sure

I don't think he has any chance of upgrading unless his ancient laptop uses Mobile PCI Express (which it doesn't, it's far too old and low end for that).
