You need a minimum of 32mb graphics card....Now if you don't have that, I'd have to ask what planet you're on :)

Personally I never liked Morrowind, Oblivion's wayyyy better.

Well considering those are possibly some of the vaguest specs ever you need to elaborate more... What kind of processor (Pentium 4, core2duo etc.) What kind of ram, DDR DDR2? and why is that 983mhz just randomly thrown in there? Also what video card do you have? (seems like onboard)

In XP, click start, run, which brings up a box...then type dxdiag, it will bring up a page that says a whole lotta things.

Click the tab that says "display" and it should tell you there...not sure what to do if you're using Vista.

go to the start menu and click on run, type in dxdiag. The system tab will tell you the processor model, and the display 1 tab will show your video card model/series.

If thats true, you might even be able to play oblivion:)

But you will definately be able to play Morrowind at it's highest, enjoy.

Your still talking about morrowind right? You don't have any dump stores or game stores with bargain bins near you? I saw this game a year ago for 5 euro, only 10 euro if you get 3 games together and they had both expansion packs. Steam rips you off big time, i would only get new titles, or titles you realy can't get, with it.

Hold up, you definitely can't play oblivion. Your video memory is most likely shared with the system memory and not dedicated (so it's essentially going to do no good.) Chances are you can play morrowind but it's still iffy.
