    Can I run Skyrim on Medium or should I get PS3 version?

    I have an M11x r2 with the less common U5400 CPU (1.2 Ghz) with 4 GB of RAM, GeForce GT 335M. I'm worried that my M11x won't be able to run it on medium settings with a decent FPS. If this is the case, then I would rather get it for PS3. If I can run it and make it will look good, then I want it for PC (obviously because of mods). Will my U5400 be able to handle this game? What if I overclock it?

    mine runs on high with decent FPS on the R3, so it should run on medium with the R2

    I just checked; i have the i5 version and it is quite good at medium settings with moderate cpu utilisation of about 60% of each thread on default settings (i do not overclock my machine because i want battery life)

    My brother has Skyrim on PS3. It has really frequent framerate dives and definitely doesn't run as well as on the M11x.

    Also, the PC version has mods which is a huge plus!
