Second thread going now. Unsure about how your PC will perform when running Oblivion? Post your specs here for judgement.

However, this is not a boasting thread. If it goes in that direction this thread will eventually end up closed. First thread.

I know I should upgrade, but I can't so-I'm hoping for low settings, as long as it's playable. I'll upgrade eventually but that doesn't have to stop me from starting the game now...does it?

2.6 ghz Intel Processor
768 mb of Ram
and the real kicker...a Geforce MX440 (AGP8x)

I'm not even sure if the card is supported, but anyone think I might be able to manage on very low-to complete minimum specs and get a decent framerate?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I doubt the game will run at all. sad.gif I have never even heard of that series of graphics card.
