no i am not asking about an oblivion port on the mac format which will never happen
i have a intel imac and recently got my hands on both ox leopard and windows xp sp 2 which means i can finally install windows on my imac and get rid of my pc
however oblivion is easiest the most demanding game i have and even though it runs on my 6 year old pentium 4 2000 mhz with 1 gig of ram and a geforce 6200 256 mb the pc is wheezing as it goes along
the imac trounches it in every aspect beinag dual core 2000 mhz with 2 gig of ram its video card however worries me being an ati radeon x1100 128 mb ina pcie slot yes but i was wondering if this card has the power to run oblivion at a satisfying speed or shoudl i hold on to my ancient pc jus ta bit longer ?

If I were you, I would hold on to your PC.

I have an ATI Radon 1900, and my graphics card is pushing it somewhat.

If you can, set Oblivion to Medium Settings, and then set the resolution to 1280x768.

It's almost like playing on High Settings minus the lag! biggrin.gif
