so my dad just suprised me with a new HP Pavilion g7 series laptop for school (maybe gaming too! )

it has a 2.53 ghz dual-core processor
4 gb of ram
500gb hdd
Intel integrated graphics card?

based on just that, can it run Oblivion or Morrowwind? idk bout Skyrim lol that game looks like my latop cudnt handle it
as far as i know, the only limiting factor is the graphics card amirite?

Right now Oblivion is easier to run than Morrowind, that is, a graphically enhanced Morrowind.

Your graphics card would definitely limit your gaming experience.
