This isn't related to skating but as everything games related is blocked grr I'm just seeing if anyone here knows.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, before I spend £20 on it, I need to know if it will run on my system. My system is a 3.6Ghz processor with a 256 mb GeForce 6200 Turbocaché graphics card and 512mb RAM, running Windows XP Pro. I know nothing about games so I'm just asking if anyone knows, would Oblivion run on those specs?!
Cheers,
James

Definitely get the 1gb of ram Gabberz... you'll notice everything run faster, especially for games or just having lots of programs open at the same time.

I will give you 24 pounds if you give me proof you have an overclocked processor from at least 3 days ago. Without researching yesterday to prove me wrong, nub.

I can get a 1gb RAM chip for free from a friends old computer, how would this benefit the performance of A) The game and B) The computer itself? *I know nooothing...*

Lol I had my P4 2.4ghz overclocked to about 3ghz before... canned my PC hard... don't think it's overclocked anymore.

Would you bet 24 quid and shake hands?

Rofl you lie so much, I would put my house on he fact you don't have an overclocked CPU. *catches brick* -.-
Yes Jabbers, well knew it would work. As I said hard in about 14 posts.

P4's are notoriously faster actually, although AMD's are still qualitarimhow tbh.

Intel make quality processors Blaze. So long as it's an Intel Pentium 4, and not a Celeron etc...

Right I have installed it, and ran it. It runs perfectly well so long as I don't run antialising at the same time, so its slightly rough around the edges of characters, but it still looks damn fine =] and runs at a very smooth rate. I found out my graphics card has 128mb extra turbocaché of memory on top of its original 256mb. So long as I don't have antialising on its fine, even at 1024 x 768 resolution. My social life has now been destroyed...

Intel pmsl. Actual pmsl at Intel.

Mine is AMD and I have also overclocked. *throws a brick at you*

No it isn't better than mine. Yours is intel and runs on a completely different clock speed to AMD, plus I have overclocked.

Yeah man, I don't know shit about my processor tbh, I know it's better than Bevan's but he canes my RAM sitch.

Cheers, at least I know it won't melt my GeForce. Trying to sort this out today, I'm borrowing a mates copy of the game today just to see how it runs on my machine.

Tbh though Blaze, Gabbers specs. do cane yours. If he had a gig of RAM he'd be sorted.

Bevan's so hard. Still chats breeze though tbh.

Hahaha. (L) That B00vOne. Tbh, you can get an extra 512mb ram for about 30 quid.

You can do that through Windows Task Manager BTW...right click task, set priority - it determines the amount of resources you put on a specific task. ^^

Erm, no, you have worse specifications than him. His graphics card will play it fine, settings on low, but his RAM lacks:
Minimum System Requirements:
Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows XP 64-bit
512MB System RAM
2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 or equivalent processor
128MB Direct3D compatible video card
Supported Video Card Chipsets:
NVIDIA GeForce 6200 series
Evidently I don't chat breeze; your computer doesn't run it because you have spyware/adaware preventing you from accessing My Documents..his specs smash minimum but are just below recommended, he wont play it well..but it will be ok. You could probably set your RAM to take priority to the game and use more resources to compensate for your shoddy 512.
Rather you than me TBH.

Bevan chats breeze. As in...it'll run but you'll wish it won't because it'll lag and you'll be playing with pixels. I know this becuase I played a demo disk and I have nearly exactly your specs, maybe a little better I'm not sure, and Oblivion was like "No fuck off and die". That game looks sweet, but I need to upgrade my pc hard
James Bevan

Yeah it will. However the 'recommended' RAM is 1GB but yours will work as you have a safe GFX card. Should get like 40fps with settings on low.
