I Don't think it will run it very well, but it might.

I'm quite sure there was a later patch that made it possible to run the game on rather old hardware, so you I guess you can.

 

However, Oblivions isn't that fun of a game. :|

Indeed.  Your graphics card might run it, but just BARELY, even on the very lowest graphics settings on Oblivion.

Just go get morrowind, its a great game and would definitely run on your computer. Its the 3rd game in the elder scrolls series.

Oh, sorry about that. I heard oblivion wasn't too much different then morrowind, but if you would really want oblivion, either try one of the mods they suggested or fork over a little cash (if you have AGP) for a new graphics card.
