         Currently I have 2 6800gts sli an AMD 64 3500 2.2ghz and 2 gigs of ram. I'm kinda getting sick of oblivion going all single digit framerate on me when theres more than a few dudes on screen. What part of my system needs the upgrade the most?

I don't really know older hardware too well so I can't say between the video cards or the processor, but I can tell you that it is not your RAM that needs upgrading. Only a few games use 2GB currently, so you're set for a while there.

I'd say upgrade your proccessor to a C2D E6400 and probly wait for the midrange DX10 graphic cards to come out or if you can't wait maybe a 7900 type card, what is your budget if you were to upgrade?

 Well I should have $200 in a couple of weeks so a 7900 is sounding pretty good right now. I would need to get a new power supply my current one is only 450w. So I'll be saving for a bit longer but by then the 7900 should be much cheaper.
