wouldn't have thought a llano would do skyrim, but apparently...

Looks like it's got dual GPU though (6550M + IGP).

Maybe get an A8 instead it's more powerful and isn't a whole lot more expensive

if I add a wireless game pad can you control the media centre with it like you can the consoles?

 

[olivier renault]

Not natively. You'd have to use some software, which I think are available (MCEJoy?).
