I'm getting into gaming again, particularly the graphic-intensive hog Oblivion. My system is pretty decent but I'm getting insane stuttering at medium settings. I know stuttering is generally about load times and load times are about memory...so my question is should I upgrade my vid. card (currently have an ATI X850 256MB PCI-Express) or should I max my memory to 4 GB (currently have 1 GB).

Thanks in advance...!

2GB is plenty enough. Spend the money on a recommended mobo and CPU.

Spend your money on a nice GPU...1GB is still pretty darn good.Maybe add in another GB later on.
