Definitely laptop. I'm on the move too much for a desktop gaming machine.

Where would I go about guying a Sandy Bridge build, or perhaps just a good casing?

I am looking in to an Asus G51JX-X2 right now. It's the older model, but with upgraded internal parts like the i7-720QM, and the Nvidia GTS 360M. I'll look in to a build your own though, see how that works. Thanks guys

I'm in the US, I want to spend at most $1200, no reusable parts, and preferably pre-built, seeing as I don't have much expertise in building computers.

I appreciate these answers, still looking for a couple more

I'm not buying it for regular oblivion, I'm buying it for games to come, and Oblivion with very high end graphics mods. Hence, the question asked above. I do thank you for your feedback, however.

Maybe I just posted this in the wrong place..?

Bumping once again

Bumping with hopes of a few answers

Hey all, I just had a question. If you run any big name graphics enhancing mods on your Oblivion game without any lag, what are your computer's specifications? I ask because I want to buy a new computer. I'm looking at one that has a 4GB DDR3 RAM, Intel Quad-Core i720QM 1.6Hz, and a Nvidia GTS 360M with 1gb dedicated video memory. Just wondering if this could run big name texture packs, visual enhancers, etc. Thanks!

Yeahhhhhhh I decided I'd find a way to do it myself. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay procrastination..

Shameless self bump

I know what you're thinking, "They take after the roman empire's soldiers, they didn't have pants, so niether should the Legion", Well yeah, but the roman's weren't subject to random Sandstorms and CONSTANT need for protection. Legion soldiers are living in a nationwide desert, they need some sort of armor for their legs to keep them in fighting shape. Here's my peeve. The legion armor from the waist up looks terrific. I LOVE it. However, I do not see shorts as an ample means of leg protection. Granted that it may work well for explorer's, the common foot soldier, veterans, Vexillari, Centurions, Decanus, and anything else wielding a machete on the frontlines needs as much as it can get. I have absolutely no modeling skill whatsoever. So here's my idea, why not cut the pants from varied Merc clothing and/or armors, shorten the kilts on the armor's to about just below buttox length, and slap those comfy pantolones on the armor? A retexture here and there, and you've got some decent looking, and practical, armor. Here's how I see it. Explorer = Fine as-is. Decanus (Veteran and Recruit) = Merc medic pants. They seem to be pretty violent-like, a blood splatter will do them good. Recruit = Grunt pants Veteran's = Cruiser (Veteran armor looks the nicest imo, and the long, flared, black, and chain pants give off an experienced vibe) Centurion = Metal legs (do I need to explain, metal galore for these guys :o) Praetorian = Fine as-is (They need more mobility for their hand-to-hand combat prowess) I also personally feel that some of the armor could do with some long sleeves, but that's a story for another time :) If I left anything out, please tell me. I hope other's feel the same way that I do. Maybe I can get the ball rolling on this thing c:

I am using Fallout Stutter Remover, as well as Purge Cell Buffers, I know that there will always be lag in some places, but my PC is above the minimum spec required. My graphics card definitely isn't the best... But I should be able to at least walk from Megaton to Tenpenny without it chopping like a logger. Plus I figure that I need a new laptop anyway, its starting to break off pieces near the fan, and its burning out from the inside... I might as well ask you guys what you recommend ^_^; My specs are this: ------------------------------ Windows Vista x64 bit Home Premium (theres one problem >_>) 4GB RAM ATI Radeon mobile 3200 graphics card AMD Turion x2 Processor The only thing I know about the laptop I want is that I want it to have an 8GB RAM, about 1000GB Hard drive, and be able to handle games on the Very High setting with as little lag as possible. I don't know what graphics card would be good. And yes, Window 7 will be a must >_< Vista is one of my main problems... but yeah, if any of you know of a laptop with that an 8GB RAM, a large hard drive, and if you can recommend one with a good graphics card, or just a graphics card in general, as well as a good processor, I'd be very grateful ^_^
