Will this laptop run modded (MGE and grass) Morrowind?

It has an AMD DA4-1250 APU processor and an AMD Radeon HD 8210 graphics card.

How well will it run MW with far view draw distance and grass mods?

Also how essential are dual/quad cores in running heavily modded MW?

Thanks.

Probably not. That is a low end video card and it's 3D is for power point, not games. Now, an unmodded game might run on that, if it gets past the shader checkers.

Check that site above, it lists all graphics cards for laptops and has good info about them, e.g that HD8210 doesnt even have any ram onboard(!)

but no, a quick check and that gfx card is terrible too..
