As for system memory 4GB is the baseline "required", and 8GB will create a much more stable Skyrim when heavily modded. If your system runs out of VRAM (see below) it resorts to using your system memory somewhat inefficiently, so if you plan on using HD mods make sure you have at least 6GB. If you have less than 4GB move this to the top of the list, RAM is almost free right now and its a highly volatile market so it won't stay that way forever, so knock yourself out. Always buy RAM in a kit (a set of RAM designed to work together much faster and more stable). Consult your motherboards list of supported models (and update the bios to latest) before purchase, this can lead to a new motherboard purchase if new faster and less expensive memory models are not supported. Note that a 64 bit OS is required to make us of more than 4GB of system RAM. | As for system memory 4GB is the baseline "required", and 8GB will create a much more stable Skyrim when heavily modded.
