Hi I am new to gamespot. I am a huge oblivion fan and want to play oblivion but I am not sure if this pc can run it or not. I played it on my xbox but I want to play it with mods. Core2 E4400, 2GBram, X1950 Pro 512MB. My friend said it wont run on my pc because of the cpu and gpu.

Why?

Because, to give advice like that, he obviously doesn't know what he's talking about when it comes to PC gaming.

We get a ton of newbies to PC games like Lotus there, who really have little idea what any "Max" settings means. Ignore that, since it's so obviously totally meaningless as valid information.

P.S. This is a software-ONLY forum, and this subject is HARDWARE, so it is off-topic. There is a separate, proper Hardware Forum for this stuff.

Can I play Oblivion on max? or Medium? I checked out the system requirements, it says 1GB ram,3 Ghz, X800 or 6800 is required to play it on max

There is a sticky topic at thetop of the forums addressing "Can my PC run this..."

So unless you are trying to play "Oblivious" please send yourself there for answers to hardware questions.

I don't trust System Requirements Lab, it said that I can't run Dreamfall because my GPU doesn't support shader model 2.0, but in fact it ran pretty smooth even at 1280. So the question is, can my PC even run Oblivion, even if my GPU doesn't support shader model 2.0?My system specs are:-Windows XP (SP2)-P4 2.4 GHz-512 Mb DDR RAM-128 Mb Radeon 9200 (Ultra-Ancient)

You can't run Oblivion out of the box because it needs shader model 2.0, but there are mods that allow you to play the game with shader 1.1 except then the game becomes buggy.
