AMD Quad-Core A8-3520M (1.6 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache)

or

Intel Pentium Dual-Core T2310 (1.46 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 cache)

The AMD one is faster but honestly neither of them is particularly fast. Those are laptop processors right?

I'd say the bottom one is slower, just because it has lower numbers and that generally means worse/slower performance

*Edit - Damn caps lock.

yeah laptop processors.

What does it mean when a computer has a slow processor, in terms of gaming, performance, media/music and general operation/stability?

It can't process the data quick enough, not meeting the games demands, which in turn makes your game suffer from bad graphics(render times) and lag(low FPS)

Will this run morrowind using MGE far view and some HD texture mods?

ProcessorAMD Quad-Core A8-3520M (1.6 GHz, 4 MB L2 cache)

RAM6 GB (1 x 2 GB, 1 x 4 GB)

Graphics cardAMD Radeon HD 6620G + 7450M Dual GPU
1 GB DDR3 dedicated

how well would it run vanilla oblivion?

Both Morrowind and Oblivion rely heavily on CPU power and not so much on GPU power.

CPU power being processor power?

» Sun May 13, 2012 8:17 pm

Yeah CPU would be the computers power to process, do what you want.

GPUs the graphical processing power

So would the above laptop run morrowind with mid MGE settings? how about vanilla oblivion?

I don't know, post it in the Tech thread I linked earlier, because I play Xbox and have no idea what the specs are for these games.
But if that equipment is fairly up to date then it should be fine
