Oblivion can be very taxing at higher resolutions. Upgrade to a 8800GT if your budget allows when they are released.

If you don't wait for the 8800GT,you FAIL :| 8800GTSish performance for only $200:

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/unions/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25989855&union_id=11552

Reason why i say 8800GTSish performance is because those benchies were at 1280x1024 and without AA+AF.

Indestructible2

That's basically a shader based bench due to the lack of AA and AF @1280x1024. This is something the GT will excel at. If you want to run Crysis smoothly, perhaps skip the GT until further benches are done on it. After seeing these though, I almost wish I didn't pick up my 8800GTS 2 weeks ago. -_-'

You may have to enable onboard sound in your BIOS.

I do believe Perfect Disk 8 optimizes as it defragments by default, though the option can be toggled.

Do you know what slot you have for graphics? I'm guessing you don't have Vista so DX10 support is unnessesary. Try these baised on your graphics interface. (AGP or PCI-E x16)

No...get an 8600 if you want DX10 support.
