Depends on your hardware. If your's is low-end then it will take up some CPU power (little to no GPU) but if your's is higher end there will be very, very little to NO difference.

[I need a better name]

installing it won't have any impact on performance unless you have very little space on your hard drive/ssd

I have it installed on my crappy laptop and it uses almost no cpu power at all, even uses almost no bandwidth either.

Performance(FPS) wise - no. Unless your CPU is huge bottleneck already, you may lose a couple frames. If you use HHD PC will boot a little bit slower.

You don't have a computer from the 90s, do you?

It uses like nothing, why would you not install skype?

Aaah. With this hardware I'd say it's more likely to affect your up/downlink internet connection than the speed of your PC

 

May I suggest getting a teamspeak server (or hosting one) for higher audio quality. (or at least razer comms)

That being said, it does use a lot of memory for what it does. Someone with a low-amount of RAM might run into problems, but I'm talking <4GB

So then why ask if it's going to cause any problems..?

"Technically" it will, but it's soooo minimal you won't notice.

[hawthorne]

It should barely affect your performance, however for gaming I would recommend team speak or mumble.

Hangouts FTW

Worries about Skype, is building high end gaming rig LOL ?

Hope u are not building it yourself because purely based on this topic I would recommend u to stay away from it until its built and ready to run.

No offense. Your PC won't even notice something like Skype.

Skype uses hardly any resources.

always when i call on skype my gpu driver crashes and then restores, one time i had a blue screen so i just uninstalled it, teamspeak is much better.
