...I'm currently left wondering whether or not I should buy The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for my PC, or my Playstation 3.

I went to systemrequirementslab.com and ran a test for it on my computer, seeing if I had the proper specs. These are the results:

...I failed the video card test, but I have all the recommended attributes...hmm...

...My processor isn't a quad core, but it is a dual core 3.3 Ghz. This computer can actually run Dragon Age: Origins almost on entirely maxed settings smoothly at 1600x resolution, and I don't even meet the processor requirement for that game, which requires a Quad-Core 2.4 Ghz. This is leading me to question whether or not I should buy Skyrim for PC. I expect that if I can run the game, I can run it AT LEAST about medium pretty decently. Any opinions?
 
The reqs for that game are a lot lower than I thought they would be. I say get it for your preferred platform. If you can upgrade it would run even better though.
 
well i got oblivion for both ps3 and pc, i must say i prefer pc mainly coz you can also get bored and do extra stuff like create a new account put a cheat in and have unlimited health or somthing then just go on a rampage, so im gonna do pc for skyrim aswell
 
...I'll probably just get it for PC. Besides, I don't really play many games on my PS3...I only have several on it that I play, one game in particular the old Digimon World game for PS1 since it's backwards compatable. Besides, a lot of the games I like to play are PC games, and I figure that if I can run Dragon Age as well as I do, Skyrim shouldn't be much different.
 
The video memory there is memory from your card and what the OS dedicates to video use. And yeah get it on PC :)
