That's what I got, except you have 4GB more then me and a better processor. But same model, G73Jh

I just hope I will be able to play Skyrim without any lag and such horriable things.

I will be playing the PS3 version, I already have my PS3 and am happy with it, and although I'm using a PS3, PS3s use NVIDIA.

I will use my ps3 but I will buy a new one because my brother is taking my current one.

Switching up to an alienware m14x (I'd prefer a m13 if they have em by then) from an m11x. I just need the extra space and screen capacity.

You should add a "I don't know" option under the "Are you buying new hardware to play Skyrim on?" question... for well, obvious reasons - we don't know the system requirements yet so we therefore can't really know if we're gonna buy a new PC or not yet.

» Wed Jun 15, 2011 8:07 am

Totally new PC (was getting anyways)

Intel i7 2600K

Nvidia GeForce GTX 570

8GB RAM

» Tue Jun 14, 2011 6:48 pm

Hopefully, I'll be running it on my current hardware

2.66 Core 2 Duo
4 GB RAM
Win XP SP3 32bit
ATI HD 2600 XT / 256mb

If the min requirements are too high..... we'll burn that bridge when we cross it.

I'll see how it performs on my computer, if it stutters, I'm putting away a bit of money for a a 2nd card and some more ram when it comes out.

AMD Phenom II x4 810
4 GB DDR3 at 1300mhz
Vista 64bit (ugh... wish I had 7)
ATI Radeon HD 4870 1 GB

Can easily run Oblivion with enhanced visuals mods at 2560x1600 so I should be able to run Skyrim on close to max settings.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 465 (don't remember anything else)
