    Well, just got a new laptop today and I am wondering if and how well it will play oblivion?


    pentium M 760(2MB L2 cache,2.0 GHz, 533 Mhz FSB)

    ATI MOBILITY RADEON x600 PCI Express/128MB VRAM

    1GB DDR

    Also quick question, what is better - ati mobility x600 or 9800(gt or xt or something).
    And which is better, Pentium 4 3.0 ghz or the processor above.
    Different laptop. Which would be better for it?

    Should be alright to play it but you will need to tweak the details in game to get it running smoothly.

    There is an in-depth guide at tweaking Oblivion at this link have a read over and you should get a good idea what settings to change.

    Another guide at this link as well.

    I'd say the one with the 9800 mobility might run it a bit faster but the PM 760 is the better CPU so I don't know tricky one to call if you can try both and see what happens.

    The M is better then the p4 but the x600 won't run it well at all...the 9800 would be better but not by an awful lot. You will definately be able to run Oblivion no problems, but you might have to turn alot of stuff off or down, as well as a low resolution to keep it running smoothly.

    The rest of the specs are nice though, a better gfx card would've made it a fairly good gaming laptop.
