Hmm. Doesn't fill me with hope. Nice to know the menus aren't laggy
though ;-)

Have read elsewhere that it only uses 2 cores. Difference between min
and recommended specs seems to be about clockspeed, not cores on the CPU
side.

That's helpful to know. Thanks.

I now need to find some time. I'm suffering from a completely
unexpected relationship with Skyrim. Have never got into anything that
didn't involve either flying or driving before (apart from a brief and
beautiful fling with Bastion). My normal driving fixes of GTR2/GTl/P&G
have not been started up yet this year. The shame!
