Hi folks, I'm planning on re-playing Oblivion again. Now my question is this. I have a dual boot system with Windows XP (32bit) and Windows 7 (64bit). Oblivion is already installed on XP along with a huge amount of mods and tweaks but I would like to know, would it perform better or worse on Windows 7 (64bit)?
Also, I've not really been keeping up to date with any of the new mods being released so If anyone can recommend me some of the new ones that would be great. :cool:
Thanks
 
Wel i run it on windows 7 64bit and dosnt seem any problems:D Tbh i think it would run the same on either one. but how much RAM do you have? (just out of intrest)
www.tesnexus.com < go there and check out the most downloaded/top mods! Spend an hour searching through and finds which ones suits your gameplay style. :D
 
Should be pretty much the same performance unless you have some obscure hardware. If you have a low amount of system memory (<3GB) and are using high-end texture mods then XP 32bit might be marginally better due to the lower footprint.

3GB of RAM. My full system specs are

AMD X2 4200+ @ 2.6Ghz
3GB of DDR2 RAM
HIS RADEON HD 4850 512MB

From doing some more research I think I will probably just run it off XP. Easier. Read quite a few posts on various forums regarding some compatibility issues on Windows 7.
