got a friend building up a pc he wants o play oblivion but needs 2 know what is the recomended requirments.

i'll read you the box:

minimum specs: windows XP, 512MB system RAM, 2 ghz pentium 4 or equivalent processor, 128MB direct3d compatible video card and directx 9.0 compatible driver (availible for download though card manufacturers site usually) i know my video card is way below specs (radeon 300 or something
) and it works great on medium texturing

yeah, and a card can be Nvidia GeForce 7800GTX.
It's better i think, but it's more expensive.

Don't worry about not having a godly computer. I have the biggest piece of junk you can get..

AMD Athlon XP 2500+
SOYO KT600
1.5 GB Corsair RAM
Audigy 2 ZS
Radeon 9800 256 MB

And I run oblivion fine, it doesnt look as pretty as it would on a 1000 dollar computer, but it still is pleasing to the eyes. Has its lag moments, but still doesn't make you go "UGH THIS RUNS SLOW" or anything.

thanks guys
