Ok. I haven't gamed for a while so my PC has been allowed to stay behind.
Now I am really into Oblivion (Elder Scrolls IV) and I can only run it at all the lowest settings (640x480, etc) and although its playable, its jerky at many points and its a pity for it to look so much uglier than this beautiful game is.
Current System
AMD Athlon 64 3200 (2.2Ghz)
Asus K8VSE Deluxe Motherboard
512MB Corsair XMS3200XLPT
ATI Radeon 9800 XT
I have pretty much lost touch with all the advances, and PCI-Express adds to the complications as I'd like to spend little and this would force me to get a new motherboard.
Any suggestions for an upgrade that would run Oblivion at lets say medium settings without it being jerky and that wouldnt break the bank? The obvious one is to get me some more memory, but should I go for 2gb or will 1gb be fine and the difference better spend on graphics card?
I feel old asking these questions
