    I'm not suprised considering its specs.

    Where and how much did you get the S1 for?

    peppythechihuahua, do not double post on the forums please, we don't allow that. This actually belongs in the Gaming section as well, it has been moved there.

    Don't know of any gfx tweaks but I'm more then happy of how Oblivion runs on my S1 - don't see a reason to tweak anything ;)

    gfx = graphics, fulll gfx = full graphics = max settings :D

    So yah, the X1600 256mb should be able to handle Obliv on max/med settings.

    The only tweaks are to overclock it using ATI Tools, NOT Ati tray tools.

    Also close a lot uncessary programs in the background :D

    well show us some pics of your obliv.. i can't even play it on my desktop, stupid geforce 4 ti 4200 128mb =\ :O LOL


    Thanks,

    MysticGolem

    N.C.I.X - $2499.

    Like taking out a Porche for it's first drive when I booted it up. The only problem is I'm totally paranoid about letting anybody else touch it. I make them wash their hands first.

    All notebooks should have a piano black finish.

    by the way - oilers still rock. definitely leafs next year. but 06 is the year of the jays!

    Oblivion runs much faster on my Toshiba Qosmio (Core Duo T2500, GeForce Go 7600 DDR3) than on my home PC (P4 2.8GHz, Radeon 9800 Pro) and with the eye candy turned on to boot. I'm very impressed by what a top laptop can do.
