Upgrade Your Pc, The "Upgrade your PC 4 Oblivion"-Thread Options

[Ambberfox]

we still don't know what type of hardware will be required to run Oblivion smoothly on a PC but it's probably a fact that a lot of people right now are concerned about that their system might be too slow or lack certain other requirements.
What I thought is that anyone who wants to get some advices could post some informations about his system in this thread - only the main hardware-components, please - and then we could try to help that person with deciding what components need an upgrade - or if a completely new system is needed

i upgraded my computer recently from:
- 1.7ghz Intel
- 512 mb (sd) RAM
- Old cheap motherboard

To:
- 3200+ AMD Athlon 64 €150,-
- 1024 mb RAM €75,-
- Asrock Motherboard (only mobo that has AGP + PCI-e, really good one too by the way) €65

my Radeon 9600 PRO 128mb wasn't really old enough to be replaced, so thats why i bought an Asrock motherboard, so in the future i can buy a PCI-e graphics card


so @ DaedraMaster

if you want to buy a complete new computer, and you look well, you can be very cheap
Processor 3200+ AMD Athlon €150,-
1024 mb RAM Twinmos €75,-
Radeon Sapphire x850 256mb €225,-
Mobo ASrock 939 €65,-
Case €40,-
Zalman Cooling €30,-
DVD Drive €20,-
Asus Power Supply €40,-

€645,- = $767


than you're computer is quite top of the line

o and @ Bofra:

I've had Windows x64 too for a while, but if you play alot of games, DON'T DO IT!
because ALOT of things aren't compatable ..it was driving me crazy
I couldn't play Battlefield 2, NfS Most Wanted, Mafia etc

so now I'm on Windows 32 bits again
