Am I Wrong? How is my PC running this?!

[k3banks]

My PC is running Cs:Go and L4D2. Though some of it's components don't meet the minimum requirements. Okay I'll admit it isn't an amazing gaming PC but it says it needs at least 128 mb video card RAM for L4D2 when I have 32mb and needs to have a minimum prosessor speed of 3.00 GHz whereas mine is 1.8GHz. It is also very similar with Cs:Go too. If it is that I'm wrong will I be able to run skyrim?

That PC would blow up if you would get just to the menu of Skyrim.

32 video RAM? My first gaming PC in 2001 had that, you know - is 2015 now. 1.8GHz CPU hmm, it is a single core or it has more?

I'm sure it's a dual core. :)

I suggest - upgrade. Seriously. Im not sure which country you live in, but a 400USD machine would give you 10x more performance. Enough to play even Skyrim.

How much frame rate do you get in those games ? I'm shocked that a 32 video ram still exists :D

Skyrim is one of my favorite games and was one of the reasons why I switched from a Geforce 450GTS 1GB to a Geforce GTX 750 Ti 2 GB.
The vanilla version was playable on 1080p ultra even on the 450GTS, but when I started to add mods, it became even more needy in terms of hardware.
Who the heck would even play Skyrim without mods.

I've been told on many websites that it is 32mb but I'm still confused if it is or it it more.

I know but I'm still debating if I really have 32mb or video card ram. :/

No, you don't unless you play with a resolution of 320x240. :p

What's the name of the video card (GPU) ?

1-Click Start.
2-On the Start menu, click Run.
3-In the Open box, type "dxdiag" (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
4-The DirectX Diagnostic Tool opens. Click the Display tab.
5-On the Display tab, information about your graphics card is shown in the Device section. You can see the name of your card, as well as how much video memory it has

What is my Video-Card RAM?!

The first picture doesn't work.

Anyway,the HD4000 can run most newer demanding games at absolute lowest settings and a very low resolution with a decent FPS but it's not a GPU for gaming.

You should start upgrading your pc slowly,start with the cheap hardware to the expensive one until you get a good pc for gaming and believe me it's worth it.

Okay, thanks for your help and I don't know why but at the end of the first link the last two letters are 'cu'.
