The card isn't very good. I haven't played Oblivion so i wouldnt really know for sure, but i would guess you could play it on low settings.

If you want to play games, I recommend getting a desktop. Laptops are not meant for gaming, you could spend the same amount and get a pretty good desktop.

No the 8400M is not meant to be used on games.

if the 8400m is as good as or better than a 7300gs then u will play oblivion on medium, only problem is lack of v-ram but i think medium at 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 is vcery doable

for a laptop its good and has a decent GPU (for a laptop) will play games on low/med (older games though) maybe a game like bioshock if your lucky.

I would recommend a dellE1520 with the intel core 2 duo processor, 8600GT and 2 gb of ram. You can get it for 1200 easy if you wait for a coupon.
