    Well, I had it running modded on mah old lappy with 240m, so technically I think it's totally plausible to run it on a potato.

    The added benefit is that if you run out of potions during a boss fight, you can start eating these potatoes to restore health.

    Yes, while you CAN run this game on some potatoes, it actually plays better if they are baked and with lots of butter and Sour Cream, too....
    (That's what the locals in Dawnstar told me).
    :p
