Skyrim 1-2 FPS

[Confused one]

Hello,

I recently bought Skyrim, but the game is unplayable. I'm getting only 1-2 FPS.
Any ideas on why this is happening or what I can do about it?

Windows Vista 32-bit SP2
2 GB RAM
AND Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ 2.00 GHz
Hard Drive free space 150 GB (after installing Skyrim)
DirectX v10
NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE nForce 430 -- Approx. Total Memory 825 MB

I suppose your integrated graphics just can't handle it. Getting a real graphics card would be the only solution.

Agree with kjs whatever the rest is...you need another gfx card. Minimum I recommend is the Radeon 5450 @ $30

or you can go with this at a high price for a more future proof system:
Radeon 6670 $75:
