So how do you guys fare my computer running Fallout 3? My specs are as follows:

 

AMD Sempron Processor 3100+

1.80 GHz Performance Rated at 3.10 GHz

1GB System RAM (XP)

NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT

 

That exceeds the minimum requirements, and the game is more optimized than Oblivion (thank god) so you should be able to run it fine. Just don't expect it to look good, at all. You'll be pretty much bound to the lowest settings.

My god, forums been up for 2 minutes and already a "will it run" thread.

 

 

Not trying to be rude here but.... If you read the MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS for this game, or any game, and your computer meets them, it will run.

 

If it doesnt, it wont run. Simple as... I dont get why people start these threads.

I did read the system requirements. Thing is, I'm not used to playing games that meet the minimum requirements but fail the recommended. That's why I wanted to ask here. To see if 'minimum requirements' would really set me back. Response has been positive so far though. Thanks. I'll try it out. Even if it doesn't work well though, I plan on building up a new comp anyway eventually.

My specs are a little better then yours but in the same range

AMD Athlon64 3400+

2GB System RAM

NVIDIA GeFroce 7600 GS

 

I'm running on Medium details and at 1024x768 it runs great with a little slow down here and there but nothing more then slightly annoying. I did have a processor like yours before and it when I upped it from a Sempron to an Athlon64 it made a HUGE difference with Oblivion.

 

I'd say you'd be OK on low settings and 800x600 with Fallout 3

I have a 256MB GEForce 6200 AGP ( less than the requirement) and it still runs well enough at 1024 x 768 and more than low settings.

 

The only problem and crashes I had were sound related. I had to change my speakers setting from 5.1 surround to normal stereo 2 speakers.
