1. Do you have an LCD or CRT monitor? And what resolution do you run it at?

2. You need to pick an AGP card?

3. Answer these questions and I'll help you pick a card!!

Double Post:
BTW- ATI always has great refurb products available. This X800 XL is a dang good AGP card for $120. These cards do come with manufactors warrenty as well. I got a x800 XT-PE that way... and runs Oblivion well at 1360x768 w/ Bloom and 2xADAA and 8xAF.

Most amazing jew boots

Except that is a PCI-Express card....

So I would go with what I recommended above (x800 xl), or look on NewEgg/ZipZoomFly for ATI X800-X850 cards. Try to stay away from the GTO cards. PRO cards are ok, but XL and XT are probably the cards to get. I assume you run your monitor at 1280*1024? If so, these cards should work well for you, even in Oblivion.

Cheers

How ya doing, buddy?

That is strange news... This might be something to hold out for.

MS Framework is really not a big deal. It is for the CCC and the "fancy" box and stylings you can have with it. MS Net 2.0 is really not an intrusive piece of software, it facilitates #C programming and window stuff for easier programming.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
