Is your computer a calculator from the middle ages? No? Chances are you'll be able to run Morrowind on pc.

Check the required specs, if you can run it, then I say definitely buy it. It's an amazing game with (I find) a lot more depth than Oblivion.

It will be good it you could post your PC specs, so we will be able to tell you if the game will run, but it should run on most computers, as Morrowind is 8 years old. I've heard that it may run "not so good" on X360.

About the game itself - you should read http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Morrowind_for_Oblivion_Players article, it will explain a lot of differencies between them.
If the things that you liked about Oblivion were exploration, quests, lore, then you should enjoy Morrowind very much. But if you liked voice acting, fact paced action or top-notch graphics, you ma be not to fond of Morrowind.

You should get it anyway, it is cheap nowdays, chances are that you will like it.

yeah its excellent.

with graphics/immersion mods, better than oblivion.

theres tonnes of guilds, some you may not even touch for years to come.

Ive played over 500 hours, I havent touched the main houses, thieves, DB, mage, shrine, vampire or imperial cult quests yet.

It's okay on xbox especially if you get the GOTY Xbox Edition, but PC is obviously the way to go if you can.

Also, Oblivion is basically a giant tutorial for Morrowind. You will instantly recognize stuff, and the "new" mechanics will be easy to adjust too.

The graphics card will be the biggest problem, but the rest of the system is best described as "just adequate". Changing the processor might make a minor improvement, but the whole system is somewhat dated. That's should still be enough to run the game at "average" settings, and allow you to load mods that the console version won't.

You should be able to run the standard game and expansions on that system with little or no trouble, but adding all sorts of high resolution graphics would probably make the system stutter and drop to a crawl (mainly due to the "cheap" onboard graphics chip and "shared graphics memory"). I'd still recommend the PC version, because you can still do quite a bit with mods that don't get graphically intensive, or with lower resolution versions of some graphical mods. A lot of other mods have little or no effect on frame rates and speed, so you can stick mainly to them. The ability to correct "glitches" with the console function on the PC version is also handy at times (for example, the "fixme" command is a gamesaver if your character gets stuck partially inside a rock or falls through the floor).
