People aren't getting this from the internet, as it's simply not out yet.

If you listen to the IGN podcast on the game they were saying that they did some comparisons themselves and the minumum requirements are REALLY minimum. But obviously you never know until you try it yourself. But from the looks of the game there is no way that a 64MB video card will be able to run this game. I have a 512MB Radeon X800 and Half-Life two pushes that card to the max, and I can only imagine the horrible frame rate that I would get with Oblivion.
