Dear Capo,
my PC problems are not with video card (Video RAM = 500 MB), but with CPU as You may see at the attachment enclosed.
I will change my MB very soon with more powerful CPU and Video card.
My targets are
Oblivion, Skyrim,
The Witcher 1&2
Final Fantasy XIV & XIII
But another and very fatal problem is approaching now before me.
What will i do when finish these 6-10 ok let say 15 games?
So, the game creators have to speed up their game projects...


May i very politely recommend You Arena? Very nice old game, very.
You ever may fly, amigo! No such option in Daggerfall and Morrowind. Fly, no levitate. I dunno about Obvilion and Skyrim but think no flying. Try it and one day You will say - Grazie, yog.
Do not forget Pass wall spell.

Betrayal at Krondor:
-Yesterday, a friend of mine, told me:
--Hey, yoga, I know some tricks about this game, which you may transfer to yr friend.
-What?What do you think?Do you know who is Caro Capo?
--No.
-He is very fair gentleman who never,never use some "tricks". What do you think, stupid?
Grrrr...

And quote from the article: "Yes, you cannot play at high resolutions on a GeForce GT 220 but lower resolutions are quire playable without lowering the level of detail. The GeForce 210, on the contrary, proves that it is no gaming card again."

And since FO3 uses the same engine as Oblivion, the Gamebryo, your GPU is lacking power, too.

I'm no longer sure how these requirement work or not. With just an integrated VDU-card (thus: lacking the 500MB card required according to a page what supposed to tell wether I'll be able to use the program - game - or not), I could go without any problem at all on average setting with my latest game.
The lack of CPU and such for yoga though means most probably Oblivion would not work for him most probably, but my vote goes on the "try it before buying" for a maybe.

If you play only rpg it can be a problem, on the other hand oblivion, skyrim, fallout 3 and also tormant are pretty long games

Naa, that game is out of my list.

For your pc, how much you can spend ? A mid-level pc is not very expensive.

Default 300 bucks en.

300 bucks and maybe the PC company will use many details from my old PC.
No info which ones..
The idea of service PC man is to take my old PC and compensate me or..
I think to tell:
-Amigo, the test of my new PC will be Fallout 3 running. If i am satisfied from smooth running of FO3 then all is OK.

Do You think this is a good idea?

The monitor, mouse, keyboard, web camera, router are not included.

What do You think both: Hunvagy and twillight?

With Fallout 3 as your test game you'll get everything on you list running except possibly Skyrim. I also think Fallout 3 is a good game, although there are many people who disagree with me, but they smell like farts

I can't wait for you to play The Witcher games, they are great

CPU is rarely a bottleneck, but yours is super old, so yes. Anyway when you upgrade you have to get much more RAM. It's the most common performance bottleneck, even if you pass the official minimum requirements. If your hard drive is continuously busy while playing it means you have too little RAM. And you can't really have too much, Windows will use it for disk cache, and it's cheap compared to upgrading CPUs or GPUs.

There is even a Fallout 4, called Fallout: New Vegas. Uses the same engine as F3, and in story it continues F3, thus it is NOT the originaly planed F3 what if I remember well had the same title but got canceled, and instead the current F3 came out with a few years later.

Ye, confusing.

Btw, as you yoga has 2 GB RAM, that's fine. The CPU needs attention, and I think a 0.5 or 1 or 2 terrabyte HDD can help fullfilling the requirements (most official requirement-checking is based on 100 MB HDDs or around as far as I noticed, that's what leads to underestimation).

Other wthing: I've just found a very funny game called Plants vs. zombies. Managed to get the full version. I'm sooo much having fun!
