Wink PC Game minimum spec advice urgently needed

I'm horrified. My games rig doesn't meet the minimum spec for one of the latest games I really have been waiting for a long time (Oblivion).

Is there some king of self-help group that I can join to help me get through this? I'm devastated, shocked and upset, and I need counselling.

Joolz.

You can contact them at www.overlockers.co.uk, the call should cost you no more than £1000

LOL I think I am probably still in denial, but I have just attended my first meeting at www.ebuyer.co.uk and they are going to send me some Corsair CL2.5 dual-giga-ram assistance. Sounds pleasant but I may need more help.

I've also been told I need some AGP GFX pills, but don't know what's best for me to transfer across from my current Radeon 9600 medication, considering I have a budget of less than £100. Any doctors in the house who can help me out with my problem with visuals?

Thanks for your support guys. I hope my admissions in such a public forum assist others lurking on scoobynet to realise that there is indeed help out there, just a post away .

Yeah, but they do an AGP X800 GTO or X1600 PRO, if he wants to stick with ATi for circa £100.

You can get a gto2 in agp form, they were a limited release and ebuyer had them on special for £99 for a while.

Try googling it.
