Medium settings looks great. You wont be disappointed. And anyway, oblivion isnt made to have everyone running it max graphics. There are tweaks you can run to make it so much better.
Tweak 1: Defragmenting. It does make noticable differences in speed. Go to Start\Programs\Acessories\System Tools\Disk Defragmenter
Defragment all drives, it takes awhile and the performance boost depends on how fragmented the drive was.
Tweak 2: Preloading tweak. Go to... (Users name) Documents\My games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini
Change these lines to this
[OPENMP] iThreads=20 iOpenMPLevel=20
Also change this line to what I listed
iPreloadSizeLimit=1000000000
Go on official forums and you can find even more tweaks. This makes the game load everything instead of threadloading, and it makes a huge impact on performance.
PS These tweaks are completely harmless, defragmenting should be done on every computer. And threadloading shouldnt be anything tough on your system. Dont worry.
