I played Crysis with a P4 3ghz, 1GB of RAM and a Radeon 9800xt card. *That* was not a good experience. Though I'll admit, the 9800xt was one hell of a card for its time. Think I maxed pretty much everything the following two years after I got it, and that was at a time where graphics weren't standing still.

tried crysis 1 on a Pentium M 1.6GHz / 512MiB RAM / radeon mobility x700... :]
loading time about 6-10 minutes / level... would run at 40fps average with lowest settings after some initial stutter though...

There's no lower than that |
When Oblivion came out my main PC had a Pentium4 @ 2Ghz, 512MB ram, 80GB harddrive, and a Geforce4 Ti4200. Didn't even bother trying to run it

Oh, think it's the first time I've seen min RAM of 3GB, well XP users could still get away with 2GB. But memory is so cheap, no reason to not have 3GB or more (on 64bit systems).

Raising settings will likely raise CPU usage and Video memory.
Requiring more then 3GB of ram is bad because of all the 32bit gamers...
Considering this is a console port with some special PC distance sliders etc it doesn't surprise me.

Let's not forget the fact that you also have the OS running in the background, along with so and so software. Your game EXE may be 32-bit, but if the OS is 64-bit, the apps will benefit from a 6GB or 8GB. |

They still should make a 64-bit executable, it should be the industry standard now. No one who's serious about PC gaming uses a 32-bit OS anymore.

Well, with LARGEADDRESSAWARE, you can have the application use as much as almost 4gb on 64-bit OS.

Any game needing more than 512MB RAM is badly optimized.

High five  I use this PC only for 'gaming' and since I don't keep any additional program running in the background I've never had memory-related issues in games (except for some intensive mods such as the Stalker Complete or some Oblivion's texture mods).
I'm quite confident that Skyrim will run decently as long as you don't exaggerate with the distant trees/buildings settings (which eat a lot of resources). |

There's no reason it shouldn't run properly with 2GB ram unless they didn't bother doing anything beside a 3 minute port with modding tools(very likely).

I don't think you guys have much to worry about. It will probably run just as good/bad (depending on your config) as Oblivion, Shivering Isles and the Fallouts ran.
