new graphics

[Centaur]

For what it's worth I have a Pentium 4 2Gig machine and had to get a 1Gig RAM plus a GeForce 6800 - this set up works fine with Oblivion But I have seen better graphics. It boils down to the more money you spend the better the quality

My advice build a PC. Im almost finnished building one that i order about a mount ago it was shall we say done in three hour i was just not able to get the money for my spankin hot HIS Raedon X1800 GTO 256 video card (its like $199.99 and the standard Raedon X1800 GTO is like $499.99) in total couting the video card that im buying it would cost around ~$800-900 to build an awsome gameing rig (yes i do have blue neon fan and see trough case) I would say skip Manufacturers and build it your self I've seen the differnce in price my computer that was basicly top line 3 years ago cost $2700 from a manufactuer. the moral if you build it it will be cheeper.

if anyone want to see the video card here it isHIS Raedon X1800 GTO 256 Be warned its a PCI Express card which for most would mean new motherboard

Thats my plan and I got the cash to do it high end, but as indicated in previous days Im still banging heads with the wifey bout that, but as the days go by, i get closer to my goal
She will give in soon, cause my daughters pc blew a gasket so If I get the wife a new laptop my daughter gets mine and I get to build a new one

Your most wellcome after all the more playing oblvion the Merrier plus there deal on both sites are like second to none I hope they help now all you need to decide is do you want a amd or intel processor and a radeon or nividia video card and you can figure out what motherboard you need i can help find one (motherboard) that will work when you know what video card and processor you want.

[bob196045]

Thank you much

Yes I would like to play at some point, haven't unwrapped the game yet so Im not worried about dust maybe by the time I get around to playing CD's will be antiques

Yes Tigerdirect is good! I used them for the computer I am building.(check the thread here Getting Quite An Upgrade!)
It cost me about 2 grand but I got mostly all High end parts!
Plus I ordered some extras(lighting,wire loom,etc.) From Xoxide.com they sell other things you may need for a good price too!
