    If it runs great you can get a cheap 512 stick of ram at your local computer shop or even bestbuys, comp usa etc etc etc. all I'm trying say is with an extra 512 stick of ram, it will be descently playable.


    But hey if it work, it works (384mb)


    Best of Luck...

    I'm running it on an A64 2800+ fsb oc'd to 1.98, and a Radeon 9600Pro, with 1 Gig of ram.

    Its jerky at 8x6 at 640x480 (gah) its good, but I thought the game looked terrible actually, the jaggies are absolutely horrible at 8x6 and obviously at 640.

    I may end up getting a 7800GS (agp) if I decide I like the game enough.

    Akifindu, I used to have 384MB of ram. I had a 256MB and a 128MB stick. I know, that was low!

    id like to see some screen shots of your FPS. They have to be uber low to run on 384 Mb of ram. Also, what settings do you have it on?

    ATK, were you talking to me? I don't even have Oblivion, I was just commenting on having 384MB of ram. But I'll get Oblivion at some point.

    yea i was talking to jtickner. I would like to see what FPS he is getting.

    You can use FRAPS (free version) to see you FPS.
  10. Akifuddin Newcomer, in training Posts: 150

    I heard FRAPS makes your game go slower?

    u dont need fraps to see the fps do u? isnt there sumthing u can do in the consolse or the config settings to show em like in morrowind?????????????

    i am not familiar with any console commands for the game. I suppose its too new.

    I have used fraps for sometime, with many games. It is a very small program and will not hurt you FPS.

    Yea thats a nice looking game i play mine with all high settings and it is beautiful, I installed it on my son's comp though and it looks like crap. And Fraps is a great tool i use it all the time.

    What does fraps do?
  16. notcorn Newcomer, in training Posts: 49

    FRAPS gives Frame Rate information on screen while you play a Direct3d or OpenGL Game.
  17. CrossFire851 Newcomer, in training Posts: 1,058

    I love it, been using fraps since 04'.
  18. Akifuddin Newcomer, in training Posts: 150
