Could I run Skyrim?
I have a reaaally crap laptop, currently I have only 10GB of space on my drive.
I have 2GB of RAM, which is the minimum, and if I put Skyrim at low graphics- would I be able to run it?
My Laptop:
2GB RAM
Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU Z3735F- 1.33 GHz
32 Bit Operating System
4 Cores, 4 Logical Processors

Is that enough to run it? I could TRY to free up space for the game, and if its a good game I could live with 2GB if needed for the time-being of playing the game.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks~ :tabbycat:

No, it isn't going to work. Don't bother... the first generation Compute Sticks and many tablets have the same hardware, it's simply too slow to be playable, provided the game even starts on its video card. My brother owns a compute stick with the same specs... I haven't had enough time to check it out for myself, but you can probably play Morrowind if you want some TES.

Edit: Even then i'm not sure Morrowind will run fast enough. 2m43s has Morrowind, I wouldn't really... call even that playable :(

Hm, speaking of that, grab Terraria if you haven't. Should run and it's a sweeeet game, spent hundreds of hours on it myself.

On the bright side, that Atom processor you have is more impressive than you might realize. I own a laptop with the original Diamondville Atom N270. Extremely weak single core processor, in fact it's slower than a 700 MHz Pentium III from 1999, by some miracle Windows 10 works on it but my friend, the Z3775F has gone so far being over 20 times faster and consuming even less energy. Science is truly amazing. It's just not a gaming processor, but a remarkably efficient one. Back then when these netbooks were a thing, it was the only choice, but now, the Z3775F really belongs in a smartphone, and some even do use it, like Asus's Zenfone 2. :)
I do own Terraria yes, I guess I'll try playing it. Thanks.

To better answer your question: Look up the minimum and recommended pc spec. requirements for the game.

That's... incredible, I really didn't think it would work at all given that even Morrowind runs like a slideshow on those specs. Either our standards of well differ to a serious extreme or... holy living F
Yeah... I'm shocked. Thanks all!

I did, but it appears that sometimes Steam doesn't update requirements.
