Lowest end hardware you play Oblivion on

[v8envy]

Looks like Oblivion will run on some really ghetto hardware. I'm throwing my hat in the ring with the low end stuff I've played it (for hours) on:

6600 non-gt, socket 939 Sempron 3400+, 512M of 3-3-3-7 PC3200
X200 IGP (600 3dmar05s!), socket 939 Sempron 3400+, 2G 2-3-3-5 OCZ ram
Mobility 9700, 3200+ mobile (1 meg cache 2ghz socket 754), 512M PC2700, 4500 rpm drive. I play this on the plane, so we're talking 800 mhz cpu and downclocked 9600 here.

Looks like there's a guy out there with a geforce3 who managed to run it, but I'm definitely a contendah.

I'd still be using a Geforce 2 Ultra if it hadn't died on me last year.

Yeap thats me. Have to use a program someone on their forums made called "oldoblivion" that turns all the shaders into 1.1 shaders so that it will work (without it the game bombs on startup)

Gforce3
P4 1.8ghz
512 RDRAM

It plays, but I'm at 640x480 resolution, with everything pretty much turned off. FPS is fine unless there are multiple character race based NPCs on screen that are moving. (6 sleeping apprentices in the mage living quarters in the imp city don't do it)

i'm going to need to try this on my 600m and force it to maximum power savings mode so the processor locks at 600 mhz

Been playing it on my 1.6 GHz p4 on a 133 mHZ bus with 512MB of RAM and a Radeon 9600 Pro.

It runs fine at 800x600 with all the options set low or off.

Tomorrow my 3200+ and 7600GT arrive.

Compared to some of these people, the rig I use at work (my laptop, Pent-m 2.26, 1gbddr, x300 OCed) is fast.
