As it stands I am using a 2.4 Core Duo and this game doesn't even come close to maxing out the CPU. This game is using less than 1 GB of memory, any more than that is overkill (unless you are using main memory for video textures). It seems to me that these specs are all overkill (except video card recommendations). Non.such 08:31, 19 April 2012 (UTC) Specs overkill? I think they're probably aware of the memory limitations of a 32-bit OS. They're saying that your system needs to have memory modules that add up to at least 4GBs, not that your OS needs to be able to access at least 4GBs. The confusion here is that it says '4GB System RAM', not '4GB Usable RAM'. They said that 2 GB is a bare minimum, personally I wouldn't go below 4 GB of RAM for Skyrim though. 4 GB is enough anyways if you want to play the game at all. If you have crappy CPU and/or Video card with even 8 GB of RAM and Windows 7 圆4, you won't be able to play it on recommended. That's true but it is still for the recommended settings (it is obvious that better PC you have, better graphics you gonna get). Which won't really be enough for the recommended settings. x32 systems can recognize the sticks up to 4GB but actually limits you to around 3.3 usable GB of RAM. It should be pointed out that all x32 platforms read up or 4 GB of RAM, 圆4 up to 192 GB even (W7 Ultimate). Eric Snowmane 19:17, 26 October 2011 (UTC)Īctually I was thinking about creating specific topic on UESP forum regarding Skyrim's technical support because I know that there will be massive flood of posts such as 'my game won't play', 'my game crushes' and so on. However I do agree that that is possibly a relevant comment.

This is information released by Bethesda, so we have to show it as is. Nikomis 18:36, 26 October 2011 (UTC) I don't think an edit needs to be made. Considering the 4 GB recommended RAM, 32 bit systems won't cut it, as they max out RAM at around 3.3 GB even with a 4 GB stick installed. Under the recommended hardware it says Windows XP, and 32 or 64 bit.
