can oblivion run on 1.7 Ghz processor

[ticks]

anyone running oblivion on less than 2.0 Ghz?

If it did run, I doubt it would run at a pace greater than a slideshow. Or you would have to turn the graphics down so low that it would hardly be worthy of playing. I think the mininum specs are atleast 2.0, but I'm not sure.

Maybe if its CONROE or Athlon X2

I've got a 2.0 GH Athlon processsor and a GeForce 6600 256MB PCI-E vid card. I get around 15 frames per second outside, but in towns or dungeons, I get a steady 30FPS at all times

No.

I can't even run it on a AMD64 3800+... the framerate is what killed the game further for me. Maybe if you have like the latest GPU you can scratch medium settings but that CPU is a bottleneck.

Yep, Amd Sempron 2600+, on a crappy motherboard with a tweaked Bios, making it run at 1.6Ghz

Anything from 15-30fps outdoors on medium settings, no grass, 15-50 indoors.

Heheh shadow, that is equivalent to a pentium4 2.6ghz.

you dont need great fps for single player rpgs i mean i get around 25-40 outside and about 80 inside.

In other words, not worth playing until you upgrade...

I have:
Pentium 4 2.0 ghz
ATI Readon 9550 256mb (AGP)
512mb of ram

It runs pretty good on "Very low" quality.

Processor speed doesn't matter much at all for gaming... it's all about the video card.

eh no it isnt. for games with many physics and lots of ai then you need a good processor;plus wouldnt you rather have faster load times???

True, but GHz is no longer an accurate method of gauging a processor's performance, because of all the new processing technology these days... dual core, etc.

Well, really, it's not that hard to figure out. I'd elaborate, but I'm still blazed out of my miiiind.
