You can get a set of OCZ 2-3-2-5 2x1GB DIMMs for about $140 (after rebate) from newegg now.
I can't agree that Oblivion's graphics are better, at least not across-the-board better. They have a huge draw distance, but people call the terrain outside of the grids adjacent to you "pea soup" for a reason. You can mod in some larger textures to make the ugly effect mostly go away, but you'll take a large performance hit with only 1GB of RAM in that game then too. |
10-4.
It seems to run everything else pretty good in that resolution at decent settings, but you are right on the far textures - I forgot about that. I didn't know that 2 gigs of ram right now would make a huge performance difference over a gig.
