Anybody like Morrowind?

How do I find out what my specs are....?

go to control panel, open up system, the general tab should tell you your processor type, mhz and ram

next check out the hardware tab and device manager, click on display adapters to see what video card you have

that should tell you most of what you need to know, direct x will probably be included with the game files, and most video cards in new comps will be direct x compatible

Dj, your way worked too! I found this some other way (don't ask me to tell you how):

I have 3,01 Ghz processor, 512 MB RAM and a 256 MB GeForce graphic card, I don't think I will have many problems, however the game will maybe be slow especially if I buy it as a copy.

Because of the video card?

with a 64 mb video card you would have to run at a pretty low resolution, which would be too bad

yeah.... grrr

I have Oblivion but I haven't played it much mainly for the fact that I reactivated my WoW account recently but also becuase I don't like the enemies to grow stronger as your character levels up.

Seems like an awesome game, will spend more time with it when there's time to be spent.

I've bought a new computer that handles it well for $700. I did have to build the computer myself and buy some of the stuff without it's orignal package but I've no regrets so far.

Wow. That's all I can really say about the game.

I'm a 100 hours into it and can easily see hundreds more. The graphics are awesome, the story is good, the charcter customization is good. Everything you loved about Morrowind with less hassles (nice clean interface).

I have it on the Xbox, and I can't understand people who would play this game for hundreds of hours on the computer. Much better to play on the couch in front of the TV than hunched over a desk.

Gripes: no more jump or levitate spells! I loved bounding across the countryside in Morrowind. But, you can fast travel from anywhere on the map now, which is nice.

I really couldn't recommend any game more, except for maybe Katamari Damacy.

The thing with system specs is some not being met will result only in sub-par performance while others, namely graphics cards, may result in no game at all. I suspect a 64MB graphics card will simply not run Oblivion but that's a guess. The problem is with ever new technologies and new versions coming out like pixel shaders etc, Oblivion looks really good.

I'm still playing through Morrowind myself, had to stop for a while (exams ) but despite some of the quite major criticisms I've heard levelled at it, muchos gracias from me to the developers. I may have to wait a while to run through the forrests in Oblivion though.
