    You should without any problems if you lower the resolution down to 1440x900, and maintain at 30FPS.

    Also, this belongs to "Can my notebook run it thread".

    EDIT:

    Also, I recommend the Fallout 3 Tweak Guide:
    http://www.tweakguides.com/Fallout3_1.html

    Go through the advanced tweaking pages, you might get some frame rate boost.

    Ughh maybe. I have the same specs but with a 1366x768 resolution and I run on high, barely. If you disable AA and bring down the draw distance you should be able to.
