I recently brought oblivion and try it on my pc and it run well but movement of character were slow my pc spec is below AMD ATHLON XP 2800+ 1GB RAM 40 GB HARDDRIVE WITH 20 GB FREE SPACEG GEFORCE 5900FX 128 RAM Am building a new system which will be, AMD Athlon 64bit 3000+ 1GB RAM 250 SAMSUNG SATA II HARDDRIVE EVGA 7800 GTX 256RAM How well do u think oblivion will perform on the new system? Need ppl opinion on this matter and what would be the ideal pc to run oblivion at it best.

First off, dump the 7800GTX in favor of a 7900GT, which is faster, and shouldn't cost as much. Next, consider a better CPU, such as the Opteron 144, which has 1M of L2 cache, and doesn't cost much more than an Athlon 64 3000. Be sure to get a quality NForce4 Ultra chipset based motherboard, such as DFI. Finally, you may consider 2GB of RAM instead of one. Besides for performance reasons, DDR generation one memory is expected to climb in price from here on out, so it actually may be cheaper to get it now instead of later.

Yeah, Oblivion is an Ati game, I didn't know this when I bought my 7900GT, which really doesn't cut it... Get the best Ati you can afford

What you mean "ati game" the graphics shouldnt effect the game shoudl it?, would this run it : 3800+ @ 2.5ghz 1gb @ 433mhz 7900GTX ASUS / BFG A8N32-SLi Deluxe AMD X2 3800+ @ 2.5ghz Palit 6600GT 256MB @ 500/1000 ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe 2x512MB Corsair PC3200 @ 433Mhz soon ASUS/BFG 7900GTX 512MB Thermaltake Tai-Chi /With Water cooling

After a long research over the net looking at tomshardware.co.uk and http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=2746&p=1 I found that oblivion runs best on Ati x1900xtx crossfire. 7900gtx will perform good but not that good as x1900xtx. Overall if you rich and can spend up too $450 or £350 on crossfire then get it. most games today run better on a 7900GTX it all depends on the game engine. I brought a 7800gtx but now am at too minds. i might sell it to get crossfire but i heard some rumours about x1900xtx overheating.

Vyper45 oblivion should work very well on ur system
