Do you think my computer will be able to handle "elder scrolls IV" with decent frame rates?
I have a Athlon 64 3700+ Processor, 1 GB of ram, a 200 GB SATA hard drive, and a lame Radeon Xpress 200 graphics card.
(I'm holding out on graphics cards until directX10 comes out)

That alone will not run it. I don't even think that can run C&C: Generals, can it?

but wont putting everything on low make the game look like crap? Then again it doesn't really matter because if i don't use the $20 coupon for best buy soon it is going to....well....you know
As for the guy who asked about his computer, sorry but i don't think your going to have much luck.

Yea you need a better card. I have an X800 GT which I overclock so I can run everything at max settings.

Just becuase jks overclocks his gfxs card kids, dosent mean u should too!
Cuase if ur computer melts! thats ur OWN F8Cking problem, not the softwares problem or even ur retailers.

Screw that i'm trying anyway. It not like i can't just return the thing if i can't run it...

Actually, many stores now aren't accepting returned computer games, because you can take it, install it and just return it, so good luck trying to return it.

I have the ATI Radeon Express 200, 1 GB of ram, AMD Athlon X2, But I get a slow framerate on Oblivion in some areas, because of the Intergrated ATI Radeon Express 200. Long story short, if you have a fast processer, but not that good of a graphics card, you get an unrealiable framerate.
EDIT: You can still play the game if you don't have the recommended specs.

You could get that new gfx card... It's called like XBOX 360 I think

Are graphics cards more expensive than game consoles? If they are, buy an Xbox 360.
