My computer that played Oblivion died and I'm looking to get a new one. I've found one pretty cheap, (as I'm trying to budget myself so I don't spend too much on a computer.) and I was wondering if it would play Oblivion, my last computer played it on high settings so thats what I'm aiming for. I'm not very computer literate so all the specs really don't mean anything to me as far as "will this setup run oblivion" so I thought I would ask here, since this is just about the most active Oblivion message board I've seen around. Sorry for the long post, here are the specs:

AMD Athlon X2 5000+ Dual-Core Processor
ATI Radeon HD 3850 512 MB PCI-Express x16 Graphics card
250GB hard drive
2GB DDR2-800 PC6400 Memory

Is that good enough to play on high settings? If not what would need to be changed? thanks for reading and thanks in advance for replies.

should be sufficent... well for me it would
check my profile and the screenshots in my mods... and im basicly using half of what you got in all specs... its not all on highest settings of course neither do i use aa

if you can get another 2gb ram and a gfx card with at least 1024mb vram it would be good tho... hard drive size doesnt matter only the bus type marginally... and of course the lvl2 cache of your processor... better add the whole names and specs of all parts next time

!!

I want to remind you of something, good specs doesnt mean you can run Oblivion in ultra high settings without problems, dont forget to take good care of your PC, defrag regularly and keep a clean OS

Yeah, wear and tear got to my other good PC, definitely going to take care of this one.
