If you're having problems with Oblivion, think about me still stuck in AGP world. If I can run Doom 3 Im lucky
Understandable argument because that is frustrating. But technology has always been like that. Yes, my two year old computer is turning obsolete... I have a laptop I bought from Dell and now they have one the same size/weight with a duel core a few months later. Lets see if the performance promise really adds up. Supposedly Vista will have better performance for games.

It would be interesting to see if benchmarks from the beta at least match XP, but since its not done yet I guess that wouldn't really be a fair argument.
