Stop me if I am going crazy with this but I really want to make sure. Through work I am able to get an ATi X800 AGP 256MB Vid Card at a really good price. I know this card is listed on the "supported chipsets" in the FAQ's of their site but that is as far as my knowledge goes.
I have a 2GHZ P4 Processor 512MB of dual channel DDR ram a Sound Blaster card (No idea what type) and as it stands a P.O.S Nvidia MX 420 Vid card Not to mention that I have updated just about everything I can possibly think of. If I replace the vid card with the X800 stated above will I be able to run Oblivion? I really don't mind if I have to run it in 640x480 and with the bare bones settings I just want to play it like mad. Will this setup do until I have the extra cash to buy a Dell XPS system next year? -------------------- “Worry not, young Breton.

It would definately work. I Have the x700 pro, and it works mainly smoothly. All I need is to upgrade to more ram, but other than that, it would work on an x800.
P.S. I'm running Oblivion at Medium spec, and it only lags for a few seconds when the surroundings load. I suppose I could even run crappier, and get it smoother, but I like shiny. xD This post has been edited by Cuardaim: Apr 4 2006, 12:33 AM |
