Also fot you guys with 'low end' graphics cards, a program called 'oldoblivion' or 'oldblivion' or some crud is available, the game normally runs as smoothe as poop through a seive (FX5200 for you), but with the 'oldblivion' program it's like silk. Same old crashey problem though. The problem is all the pretty things, I wish I could turn them and their mystical-enchanting-fairy noises off, so my 'heap would play.

After a full year of crashing every five minutes I'm only just starting to lose patience (and a secure iincome), and have decided to opt for the card stated above, the 7600GS, as it's the best one on PCworld.co.uk I can find for AGP motherboards.

My video card is listed in the low-end but Oblivion still fails to run. My lappy still meets all the other min. requirements.
Also OldOblivion states that the Intel series video cards don't work at all. =/ so who's right?

Well, if your game isn't working, then it might be OldOblivion.
