help cant run skyrim!

[danny]

i used the game booster diagnoser to get this info. i scrapped all the random stuff it gave me. when i run skyrim everything is on low, even tried windowed mode and it still lags like hell.
I think its cause of my nvidia geforce 9100 and i might have to upgrade. can anyone help me ?

Looks like u should be able to run it Minimum requirements for Skyrim video card wise isDirectX 9 compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM (NOTE: This requirement is NOT yet confirmed by Bethesda - NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT & ATI Radeon X1800. Please be advised this may change soon).

Hmm nvm think I might be wrong...? It seems you your GPU has only 128mb or 256mb.. not sure which of ram built in, minimum requires at least 512 and recommended is at least 1GB. So yes your going to need to upgrade your video card.

This card is pretty darn cheap for the power it holds! http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5639261&CatId=3669 You can order it from there or see if you can't find one in a store locally.

But if you can I would recommend this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=606143&CatId=3669 instead for better performance. Its a just a tad bit more expensive but worth it. Currently I'm running Dual Crossfire XFX ATI Radeon 6570 HD Cards

I know what your computer has bud, I looked up ur graphics. Your graphics are integrated into your cpu just like mine was cept mine was integrated ati radeon 6000 series hd which I still upgraded to dual crossfire xfx ati radeon 6570 hds. But to answer your question, Yes you can upgrade your graphics it doesn't matter if you have integrated graphics or not.
