Found this site earlier which is very nice. It tests your computer to see if it'll run whatever game you've selected from the drop-down list. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion gave me these results:

Fuck yeah.

Well I know I'm a 'Pass' on everything anyway, tried to do it for my Work PC for a laugh but the firewall wouldn't allow it, meh, probably best do some work instead...

According to the recommended tab, I just fall short because of my GFX card. Ho hum. It'll probably be my next thing to upgrade, but not for a long while yet. However, I come nearer the recommended settings for Oblivion than I do for Beef!

Now I thought you were just making that up, a bit at least, but I tried it to see what it says for FEAR on my machine, and I got the same message. Bit of a hussy is that site, hitting on several people at once. *tsk*

Open oblivion.ini with Notepad and find the line:

bAllowScreenShot=0

Change that line to read: bAllowScreenShot=1

Save your changes and play! When you press the PrtScr key, the game will save a copy of the screen as a bmp file starting with the name, ScreenShot0.bmp, into the Oblivion folder. :)

Have you seen this thread?

It could do with updating/tidying up, but its good for geeks to be able to compare girth.

What are your specs out of curiosity?

Edit: That was the same grade I got too, 10 pence (128MB of GFX memory) short :roll:

Athlon 64 3200
1 gig O' ram
Nvidia Quadro FX500

Graphics card lets it down as a gaming machine, as its designed for running graphics software really. The idea behind it was that this machine was for work, not games...*cough*

Heh - for me the idea of having a PC at all was for word processing. The 2 gig'o'ram, 64 bit processor and £100-odd quid graphics card just make it really good at processing them words!

hehe, well i'm sure the next version of office will be in 3D, to encourage people to upgrade.

Well, having heard about the specs for Fista, I wouldn't be suprised!

Can you remeber the numbers? I'e heard it's bad but I've not seen any.

EDIT: nvm, wikki to the rescue. That's evil, considering it's an OS. all those old offices that need upgrading are gona get raped by this.

Well before they started ripping features out of it I'd heard it needed at least 2 gigs'o'ram and a mid to high end graphics card to make all its little flashy gismos work properly. Think I'll wait a fair while before getting it after its out because it seems a little unnecessary just now.

I hope Fista fails badly. The interface looks horrible and it has way too much un-needed crap, i've disabled a lot of windows xp's features as it is. Classic windows ftw. Also i bet it'll mean lower fps in games because of all the resources it eats.

In other news: 4h20m till i've swept up oblivion :)
