Dont think you will be able to play it not with a 7000. Also guy with 64meg card is not actually playing at high settings the game automatically lowers settings if they are far to high and it will be using the DX7 mode.

You know you could just read the list of approved cards, i would imagine a 9550 would play it but not very well of course.
I would maybe try an x700 then, not sure on US pricing though so you would have to check but its under a hundred here so they usually arent to different, its the best you can get under a hundred here its not bad card decent memory and performance AGP and better than any of the older ati cards.
Its just a model number. Such as Nvidia geforce. For $100 you can get a mediocre video card, if you pony up another 50 bux or so youll be able to get a MUCh better card, to where youll be able to run it smoother and at a higher resolution.

McDonalds around here doesnt pay half bad - $10 per hour. If I were you I'd just wait another week and get a better video card. Itll be worth the wait in the long run, not to mention all your games will look and play A LOT better.

Live in michigan. Anyway, the 6200 is gettin a lil old now. The 6200over clocked that is in my old rig works ok I guess. I wouldnt get anything less than that. When playing HalfLife2 the 6200 tends to lag a little bit especially if you move fast. And I would imagine that oblivion is going to be just as graphically intense as Halflife2. Tellin ya man, just wait it out for another couple of weeks till your next payday and get a better one, you wont regret it.
Let me break it down to you this way, the 6200oc in my old rig got a 3dmark05 score of 800 which is REALLY bad. 1 of my 6800's in my new rig got a score 3700. Basically, 3dmark05 is a benchmark of videocards, anything above 3500 will play almost all games at their fullest settings.
Give me a sec and ill find you a nice card for not a lot of money.
