He continues to say "The Min specs get you playing, the recommended specs let you play on High, not on Ultra. You'll want beefier rig for that. Full details on PC specs (and some console info) should be on the blog shortly".

Just a note: I can run the game on Ultra High with >1 GB of HD texture mods and all .ini tweaks enabled, with uGridsToLoad=9 on a HD4890.
This guide improved performance quite considerably: http://skyrimnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=337
It now never goes below 30 fps.

I agree, I am pretty irritated about, why on earth did they go down that Steam route. I never did like Steam.

Recently upgraded to 8 Gig RAM, Radeon HD 6870, Windows 7 64 bit. My only concern is my Dual Core, but it should be sufficient. It rocks Oblivion.
Can't wait.
Very irritated about Steam. Although (except at first) I've had no problems with it and Fallout New Vegas. I have zero interest in their achievements, community, or anything else.

@jim_uk Sweet! thanks for clearing this up. I thought I had some of my XP 32 bit still lingering in the deep dark shadows of my processor, waiting to pounce anytime. Shuuuuu!

Two sets of Program Files is normal, the normal one for 64bit and x86 for 32bit.

Also KingTitan. Like bben46 said. A new Gcard may need more power to run it, and your motherboard, may need to be upgraded for the new card, and the extra power=more money to upgrade do to having to buy a new motherboard. Yep, it is a constant thought and an endless cycle of: I wonder if my fill in new device upgrade here) will be compatibly with what I already have=even more money.
Sometimes you might be better off on picking a brand new system, instead of upgrading your old. Especialy Gcards. I read a majority of an article online that Gcard's need upgrading every year or two, but the good thing is, price on brand spanking new cards will drop in price dramaticly around every 3 to 6 months after released. But then, 6 months later, it is time to upgrade, yet another gcard, etc, etc, etc.
The endless circle of life.

@KingTitan: What you probably have is an integrated video card that is built into the motherboard, or a laptop. In the case of a laptop there is not much you can do, you are stuck with what you have. However, many (But not all) desktop boxes have a slot that MAY be able to take a better video card. Be sure to check before shelling out several hundred on a graphics card.
Also, a high end - or even medium power graphic card will need a
lot morepower to run than the built in graphics. And your stock power supply may not be able to handle it - leading to a possible Power supply replacement, adding even more to the cost of an upgrade. ">
If you post the model number of your computer one of the geeks that hang around will be able to tell you what you can - or can't do with it. ">
