Hi I love to play oblivion and I can play it on medium setting with over 140 mods 5 of which are overhauls and I use QTP3 with only minimal lag. but I want to be able to play on the highest graphics possible with no to low amounts of lag.

Here are my specs...

 

My computer specs are...

Acer

 

Aspire M5640

 

Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 2.40GHz 2.40Ghz

 

3GB Of ram

 

32-bit Operating system

 

nVidia GeForce 8600GS

 

Also I only have 350-watt Power Supply.

 

So What Should I upgrade???

Start with the power supply. I'm surprised that you are not already having power problems.

With a 32 bit system, more RAM will not help.

Any updated video card will use a lot more power than you have available

A separate sound card helps also. The onboard sound steals clock cycles from the game and causes stutter at higher settings.

 

Check this site for tweaking what you have for best performance.

Thanks for the help and I was thinking of upgrading my Wattage to around 750. Then I wanted To switch to an ATI card because I think they are better.
