Welcome newb!
For hardware recommendations we generally prefer people to use the Hardware forum. Also, we have an official Skyrim thread at the top of this forum, its stuck at the very top.

As for your issue: Yes you can but its gonna be slow and clunky. Recommend you get at least a Radeon 4890.

Please enjoy your stay here on Anandtech and try to ignore that asshole Shorty Lickens. He's completely full of himself.

Absolutely not. You have a very low-end processor paired with integrated graphics. Don't bother.

I can confidently say this because my laptop has almost identical specs (Except an M320 instead of a P320, and 3GB of memory rather than 2.7). Still, I would never dream of trying to run Skyrim on it.
