Baring nuclear holocaust or an adverse reaction to oxygen I will be getting a new machine at the end of March/beginning of April to play Oblivion.
So far it consist of:
- CPU – AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz Socket 939
- Memory – 2 x 1GB PC3200 PC3300 DDR400 SDRAM
- Videocard – GeForce 7800 GT 256MB PCI Express
- Motherboard – Asustek A8N-E nForce4-Ultra Socket 939
- DVD – Pioneer DVR-110 16x DL
- LCD monitor – Samsung SyncMaster 940B 19″ 8ms
- Hard drive – 250GB SATA-II Barracuda HDD
The fact thoughts of this makes me salivate either says I’m an extreme geek, very sad, or both
(alternatively I could have Rabies or have an insatiable appetite for electronic componentry)
Any suggestions or recommendations for particular brands are very welcome.

Joel Joel Joel you newb you want a 7900GT!!! they are only about $600 and way better than a 7800!!
btw I am getting a computere very simmilar to that to play Oblivion on too.
you will get it if you are lucky ben!
Well to tell the truth I wasn’t sure I’d get a 7800, I might spend half as much and get a 6600 – but then that is quite crappy.
OBLIVION!
Go read the latest CTRLALTDEL-online.com comics. All about breaking into Bethesda to steal Oblivion.
get a 7600 then, they are releasing them shortly and they will be pwnage budget cards. Also expect the price of 7800 to drop a it too.
