Will it run?

Post by maktab26 »

Hi-

I'm debating getting a new computer game. I've heard and read great things about ES:O. Just wondering if it would run on my laptop, and if not, what I need to upgrade. These are my specs:

Manufacturer: Sony
Model: VAIO
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T550 @ 1.83GHz
RAM: 2.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit

Graphics
Processor: Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator
X3100 with Total Available Graphics Memory of 358MB
(max.)
Chipset: Mobile Intel® GM965 Express Chipset
Interface: VGA Out with Smart Display Sensor

Thanks!

This is what they wrote on the back cover of my Oblivion:

System Requirements:
Windows 89/2000/ME/XP
Processor Pentium 4/1500 Mhz
RAM : 512 MB
Hard Drive Space 1.5 GB (this seems wrong)
Video Card : GeForce 3 Radeon 8500 or better
Sound Card : DirectX 8.1 Compitable Sound Card (it's their typo, not mine)
Modem 28.8k+ Internet Connection or better (?)
CD ROM : 4X Speed CD Rom or better
There is nothing you can't do, at least if you have enough patience to keep trying.

Why would a modem be a requirement? :confused:

And what about the HD? Oblivion (folder) consumes like 10 GB+ of my laptop's memory {VistaOS (C :) }

It's not an online game. There are other ways to acquire the patches. and if it's a new copy, it likely won't need patching at all. It's odd to put that among the requirements.
