this is a site, recommended by bethsoft, that tests your setup readiness for oblivion. [img]smile.gif[/img]
http://www.srtest.com/referrer/srtest choose "The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion" from the dropdown menu and let it test your pc. there will be a short wait while it downloads and analyzes your system. then you should see 2 tabs: "Minimum" and "Recommended". it should point out your system's weak points which i found to be pretty helpful. just be aware that if you click on the "We Recommend" buttons, they'll send you to NewEgg or somesuch place to spend your dough on what they recommend. besides that obvious bit of marketing, i found the analysis to be pretty helpful.

what makes you say that? according to spybot s&d and ad-aware, i was clean before using it and clean afterwards.
the mods at the official TES boards are recommending this program. if it is spyware, like you say, tell me what exactly it's doing that i've missed. thanks. [img]smile.gif[/img] V***V

According to that site, everything in my current system is ok except for the video card (128mb radeon 9200). The only surprise was my processor speed which, although only 1.8ghz, is rated at 2.5ghz?.. Are they making allowances for overclocking?
Not a bad site.

It appears I need a new processor and video card, probably a new motherboard to allow a new processor as well. Yeah, I need to get my dirty little hadns on some major cash.

Well, I passed the sound card requirement.
Guess I'll have to wait until I can afford a new computer. |

I failed. I failed when Morrowind came out, too. Seems these guys always hit me at the ebb of one of my upgrade cycles.
This time it's not too bad. Add a DVD-ROM and I'm fine at minimum. At 512K RAM and a GeForce 6800/ATI X800 or better video card and I'm fine and dandy.

Welp, I failed. Thanks for posting this so I know in advance. I remember Daggerfall. My computer met specs but dang, it load, crash, load, crash... I don't want to ever put myself through that again. I just refuse to buy a new computer just so I can play a game. I've done it before, but those days are over. It's a different economy out there now. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
