Because it doesn't have an OS? Lol I know, I have an OS ready to install if I order it.

@previous (dreamworksage !AUIkTW/L46)

Yeah but like do you think it would be good enough? Educated guess?

You need to get a better card.

What card do you think I should get?

there are also options for:

nvidia Geforce GTX 460 SE 1024 MB
ATI Radeon 6870 1024 MB

I'd go with an AMD 6870 or a 6850.

I only have the choice of those three cards. My budget is a bit tight for a few months.

Then go with the 5450. It will work with games, but it is not optimal and WILL bottleneck the CPU.

@previous (ValtaK !0VegJ9Jl.Q)

I read on Yahoo Answers that "The Radeon HD 5450 has weaker gaming performance than even a 4-year old 256mb Radeon 2600XT."

Are the other two worse than that? I just want to play Skyrim on decent enough settings, that can at least match the Xbox version of the game.

Then maybe you should just get an 8800GT. They are REALLY cheap and REALLY common.

So will I. They're the best race in the game.

So which one of the ones I said in here should I get? I don't know about graphics cards so 'buy a better one' is pretty meaningless to me.

I think I'll take fox's advice. Thanks bro!

What about those filthy beast races? Will you be ethnically cleansing them too?

@229,406 (A)
I like Nords because they're good at fighting and smithing.

Give it a year or so and somebody will at least make a Dragon mount mod.

Not the point, they do enough breeding with their own kind to overrun most cities.

They are also responsible for most crimes. Just look at Cyrodil, all the fucking highwaymen there are Khajiit.

Why not just play WoW? You can already ride dragons, don't even need a mod. Nice graphics though, almost as good as Cataclysm.

That's because the Khajit people are clearly being held down by the Bretons.

I wonder how Argonians mate. I think that the females lay eggs which have a porous surface, and then the males squat over the nest and fap onto the eggs.

How do they mate?

Also I remembered reading a book about 'The Land of the Dragons' in Oblivion, which warned that there was only a matter of time before dragons invade Tamriel.

I think that that book was about Akavir, and there was just one Dragon in it. I'm pretty sure that the dragons in Skyrim have just been lying dormant.
