Ok im going to upgrade my computer to make Oblivion playable (having had the same computer for 4 years, but never having trouble with any game before)
So here are my upgrades

Intel P4 2.44 Ghz
512 ram > 1024 (an extra pin)
GeForce Ti 4400 > 6800 LE (found a very good price on it)

Reason for my modesty is that this costs about 200 € and im on a REALLY tight budget.
How well will it play? I saw this gets me over the recommended line, except for the CPU, but that will be too expensive to upgrade!

DO NOT buy the LE version of any NVidea card. They are not worth that. Either get a 6600GT or a 6800, that'll work much better. As for oblivion, either of these cards and the extra ram will add MUCH to the performance.

Well I dont have PCI-E and that makes other cards expensive, im lucky to have found this card on sale. Besides, I hear it's fairly overclockable!
