off the box:


If you have at least the minimum you should be able to run it, but it may not be as nice as it could be.

________________
Can't read >_<

Thanks, by the way got any idea of a good laptop for gaming in general?



________________

Your configuration has 2 problems: not enough RAM (Should be 1 gig for games like Oblivion) and the Integrated graphics (should be a graphics card with dedicated memory, like the Geforce 8X00M Series.
You might wanna take a look at dell. Or, if you have too much money, the macbook pro -.-

________________

thanks for the info. by the way does it work with windows Vista? cause everywhere i try to look at knew laptops they go screaming Vista!!!

and what do you think of this one?
6-pound notebook with 15.4-inch screen and 1.73 GHz Intel Intel Core Duo T2080 processor
120 GB hard drive, 1 GB installed RAM (1 GB), dual-layer DVD/CD burner
54g Wi-Fi LAN (802.11b/g), 10/100 Ethernet, Intel GMA 950 video card with up to 256 MB shared memory
Connectivity: 4 USB, 1 FireWire, 1 VGA, 1 S-Video, 1 headphone, 1 microphone, 1 PCMCIA
Pre-installed with Windows Vista Home Premium (with Media Center capabilities)

________________

That set-up sounds quite iffy, especially because of Vista. That laptop's specs are those of one that came out maybe a year before Vista was released.
(1) Slow processor (Intel Core Duo version one, as opposed to Intel Core 2 Duo);
(2) 1 GB of ram isn't enough for a Vista gaming PC (enough for normal users, but probably not gamers), double it;
(3) I won't pretend to know anything about graphics cards, but I still wouldn't buy one that isn't ATI (aka Radeon) or NVIDIA (aka Geforce).

I don't recommend that laptop.

Thanks, i'll start hunting for a great one

If your looking for gaming hardware, i suggest Alienware, i own a alienware desktop and laptop, for gaming hardware they i would say are the best.
Heh spent 2 hours cleaning my desktop today... Yeah having a open case cuz i installed a few more fans because of my video card makes it a bit dusty lol, went through 2 big ass bottles of compressed air, but its a lot quieter now and my cpu heat is quite a bit lower. There was tons of dust blocking the fan for my cpu.....


Anyways yeah go to alienwares website.

Went for you seems they have a premade laptop deal which is new for them but anyways it specs are quite nice.
Graphics Card: 128MB ATI Mobility™ Radeon® X1400
Display: 15.4" WideXGA 1280 x 800 LCD - Saucer Silver
Processor: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T7200 2.0GHz 4MB Cache 667MHz FSB
Memory: 2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SO-DIMM at 667MHz - 2 x 1024MB
System Storage: 160GB Serial ATA 1.5Gb/s 5,400 RPM w/ 8MB Cache
Wireless Network Card: Internal Intel® PRO Wireless 3945 a/b/g Mini-Card
Operating System (Office software not included): Genuine Windows Vista™ Ultimate
Primary CD ROM/DVD ROM: 8x Dual Layer CD-RW/DVD±RW Burner

Seems like they are priceing it for 1.6k.

desktop is gonna be alot cheaper tho, if your going gaming.

and alienware's gonna be a lot more expensive than other laptop brands. I recommend looking for some online laptop test sites or forums. I only know a german one, so that probably doesn't help. I just ordered a dell laptop a few days ago. Core 2 Duo 1,8 Ghz, 2 Gig ram, Nvidia 8600M, WUXGA Display. Should be ok for gaming. Costs about 1250 € now. (And I just noticed that that's about 70 € cheaper than 2 days ago *says a very indecent word*)

________________

i did consider getting a desktop, but it's been years since i used a desktop, frankly i prefer laptops, so i'll be getting this one, what do you think?

Toshiba Satellite A200-10W
-Intel core 2 Duo Processor T7200
(2.0 GHz, 667 MHz FSB, 4 MB cache),
-Intel wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN network connection
-Intel 965PM Express chipset
Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium Edition
200GB HDD
1,024 MB DDR2 RAM
NVIDIA GrForce Go7300 MB VRAM

is this good for gaming?

Also note that I can't get a pc online because of electricity diffrences.

Well, it depends if you are going for the newest new gams like noobs (well, all of them aren't that bad, but playing a game just because it is new...) or play those
old classic games full of memories. I myself have one like that, but I mainly play something like Warcraft randomly. I just watch anime, read manga and of course do this.

I disagree with ur thoughts of price difference between alienware and dell, i just looked at alienwares laptop thats premade and took a look at what it would cost with dell and its more by a little bit from dell.

BTW Dell's company bought Alienware quite some time ago.

well...i could be considered a noob in pc gaming, but i do pay console games alot! i play, ps3, xbox360, wii (by the way i hate Xbox360 it just keeps getting trashy stuff)
The main reason i want to start pc gaming is Oblivion, i played on Xbox 360 before which resulted on throwing the Xbox into the trash bin, do you know about the problem? or so they call it the red eye of death or somethin XD then i bought another Xbox i dare not try playing oblivion on either ps3 or xbox again, so i'll just play it on pc, and try other pc games while at it

@drunkdecoy i thought about buying a dell but for some reason everytime i mention a dell to anybody they go off screaming >.> ?! some people say it's horrible some other say it's perfect....i don't understand....so i think i'll stay on the safe side with the nice toshiba i mentioned in my last post. Thanks for your suggestions! it was very educational for a novice in pc gaming like me.
