Skyrim is currently taking up 10gb on my drive without mods. I'm pretty sure 50 mods (assuming they aren't all miniscule changes) could reach 12gb easily.

I download it this 184 mb installer and now waiting for unpacking datas.. atm 21%. Also in System Requirements said that minimum card graphics are "nVidia 7800 or Ati Radeon 2400 HD" but when I run this installer it said that my graphic (GeForce 9300 GE) is below it... let's see what will happen next.

Because your card is below it. X300 series are very weak compared to X800, even older.

"X800" = 7800 / 8800 / 9800.
300 series wasn't made to handle advanced 3D graphics, it had problems with games even in time of it's premiere.

I`m guess is work like NFS World or Battlefield Heros - on Origin you download a start files to their own manager, where game are updating and dowloading the rest of datas (those 12 gb).

That's only 2,7 hours of downloading on 10 Mbit/s download speed. Really, I'm from Poland and now in many cases this is MINIMAL available Internet speed that operators offer you.

Szanowny Kolego - minimalna prędkość internetu w Polsce to nie 10 Mbit/s a 1 Mbit/s - Aż tak dobrze to nie ma :P U mnie w mieście (Poznań) takiego neta udostępnia Inea, sam zaś mam 5 Mbit/s (in English - In Poland official minimal internet speed is 1 Mbit/s not 10 as wojtek said - I`ve got 5 Mbit/s form INEA cable provider. )
