    Not at the best possible settings, but I don't see why you won't be able to play it.

    It should run just fine at 1280 with medium details and Bloom instead of HDR (which imho looks even better). :)

    Like stated it should run great at the native resolution of your notebook. You can have a lot of effects on and you will have a pretty good framerate.

    I recommend you though to get 2 GB of RAM. It will really help in Oblivion to get rid of the stutterings.

    I play Oblivion with textures set to high, I have yet to try it with my 2gigs of RAM though.

    Thanks guys =p. Yeah, I'm going to upgrade to 2gigs in a few weeks. I didn't want to add it directly when I purchased the laptop from Sony because their price for 2gigs was more than if I got it from newegg and did it myself.
