I was planning on holding off to buy it until the price dropped to about $30... Yeah, I held out all of 14 hours after seeing how awesome it was from the other dozen or so people playing in the game dev lab last night and today.

Everything is just so fun! Even the walruses are great, agroing them and watching them slowly shuffle over with their malicious intentions.

It's more likely your OS that isn't supporting it. You running XP 32, Vista 32, or Windows 7 32?

If you're running 64 bit.. crap, that's a surprise.

Windows XP 32 sp3. I really love this OS, I'm not fond of Windows 7 or Vista. But it's quickly starting to become obsolete it seems..

That's your RAM limitation, then.

I was really stuck on XP 32, but trust me.. W7 64 really does everything XP 32 does, with no drawbacks. It's worth swapping now.

Nope. XP 32bit most assuredly supports 4gb, which is what Skyrim has as its recommendation. Much more likely is that it's a faulty ram stick or slot on his motherboard, which can be overcome by using fewer sticks at higher capacity.

I.... I just spent 4 hours mining and smithing D:

I'm looking snazy in my custom dwarven armor though. ALSO, I found a transmute spell so I get pretty much infinite gold ore :U!

[Rose]

eh... not really.

32bit, while it supports 4gb, only gives 2gb at most to programs.

[Eagleon]

Regardless, 2gb is listed as minimum, and it's not going to get 4gb on 7 either without going up to 6 or 8 =P It's much more likely that his video card is under-spec. By the fact that he has 4gb inserted and only 3 is registering, his freezes might also be issues from faulty memory, which Oblivion also chokes on to a much greater extent than other games.

Not really interested in writing everything out, but you're pretty much wrong, once you factor in a GPU. Just google it, blah blah, in this day and age might as well have W7 64.

(Really, couldn't hurt to run a ram check, could it? And GPU? Now you're just inventing acronyms. You crazy kids and your googles)

RAM = Random Access Memory
In layman's terms: That's where your system stores shit for quick access.

GPU = Graphics Processing Unit
In layman's terms: That's what's making all the pretty colors appear on your screen.


Not sure if you're joking, trolling, or serious. =/

[Eagleon]

A combination of all three, hehe. Sleep dep + 8.5 hours of understaffed food-service with (hordes and hordes of holiday shoppers+coffee snoots)/2 = Trolleon. My apologies if it offended.

[LoSboccacc]

short version: a 32bit os can address 64gb of ram using pae; microsoft never bothered to enable it in xp (but the 2003 server had this feature, even windows 2000 could use 32gb of ram); without pae it's limited to 4gb.

even so a 32bit program can address only 2gb of ram.

you should see less than 4gb reported from the OS because xp reserves some ram for driver.

Alright, I cant afford a new computer. Shall I buy a PS3 or a Xbox 360, considering this is probably going to be my main game for it? I heard the 360 version of the game has a graphic issue (along with it being a somewhat worse system in general) but I do have 15 or so 360 games from ages ago that would become useless if I got a PS3.

[lordcooper]

PS3 has free online gaming and better stability/graphics potential.  360 has the RRoD.  Take your pick
