Forums - PC Discussion - Wishing I had a buff PC for one game

^^ well duh!!
Why the heck didn't I think of that? Yeah, my intel core duo mac should work nicely. How much is a copy of so going for these days (not interested in vista)?



Around the Network

You can obtain a copy in various methods.

Windows XP Home Edition - $89.99

There are also school discounts if you order through the proper channels. And of course there are various other means which can be significantly cheaper.



The rEVOLution is not being televised

One justification for a high end graphics card is that CUDA can be used to accelerate some video editing software.



Tease.

However, after weeks of hearing one of the engineers who works for me talk about all the mods to Oblivion, I have to say I'm growing very jealous.  Today he opened a browser at work and went to an Oblivion mod side (tex dot something or other) and pulled up screenshots of what could be done with the imperial city's nighttime appearance.  Dear, lord, I want to play that game using a PC! 

 

 Me too.

I started playing Oblivion with my old comp which had an ATI X1900XT grafix card, which ran the game decently at 1280x1024 resolution, but then that PC broke so Ive had to play Oblivion on Xbox for nearly a year now.

But I'm gonna get a new PC with a Radeon 4870 X2 so I can finally enjoy Oblivion - the greatest game ever made - in full HD with all settings on highest and packed with grafix-mods.
