I've never been a PC gamer, but after playing Oblivion and Skyrim, I really want to try Morrowind now. I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff, but I've heard that the Mobile Intel® 4 Series Express can cause problems with Morrowind. So I was just wondering if it would run it without lag?

I'm not really familiar with this this chipset you're talking about, but what would be more important for determining whether or not you can play Morrowind on your PC would be your computer's actual specs, like processor speed or RAM.

Yeah, I've checked that. It's a pretty new computer (just a couple years old), and everything else is well over what's required. It's just the chipset I'm iffy on.

Keep in mind that just because your computer's specs are well over what is required doesn't necessarily mean you'll run the game well. For computer games in general the specs listed are often the bare minimum you need to get the game to run, and play it through, but probably with a lot of headache.

Also, older games aren't designed to make use of all of the hardware available to modern computers. For example, vanilla Morrowind can only use 2, (or was it 1?) Gigabytes of RAM, and with a third party patch you can boost this to 4 Gigabytes, but of course this means that if you have 8 GB of RAM all of that extra memory doesn't help you. Same thing with processors, even games released today have little or shoddy support for multiple cores, and the gaming industry in general is being dragged by the ear, kicking in screaming to release games that come with the ability to use all four (or even more) processing cores that computers are coming with nowadays.

Frankly, if your computer is only a couple of years old and it wasn't a 'cheap' bargain bin, 300 dollar computer you should be fine for vanilla Morrowind if you're careful with the settings - being sure to reduce view distance or turn off shadows and what have you. Maybe your computer will even be good enough to run some of the higher end mods.

Morrowind is fairly easy on graphics chipsets. The Intel 4 Series Express chipset meets all the requirements for Morrowind, which again isn't much.

Some Intel chipsets are known to have graphical artifacting in Morrowind. This is due to buggy driver support.

Okay, thanks guys! Though I would like to use graphic increasing mods, it wouldn't bother me too much if I couldn't. I can deal with some minor problems, pretty much anything but horrible lag. Nothing kills the enjoyment of a game faster then lag for me.
