I'm just about to buy a new computer, and I'm confused about something. It has an Intel® Core™2 Duo processor,
2 GB RAM, and an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 LE. My question pertains to the "LE" on the video card. I've seen 7300 GE's before, but I've never seen an LE. Does that mean anything in particular? Will it still work?

Likely... I've never heard of an LE, but I stopped keeping track of them after I bought mine. It could mean Lite Edition (my guess), or Luxorious Edition. With the other specs that you supplied, however, I can't imagine that it wouldn't run it. Unless the driver for it isn't compatible, or something...

Or perhaps it stands for Limited Edition. I'd suggest that you prefer a Conroe 6600 (dual core) and an FX 7800 GTX. This combination is guaranteed to last.

My ATI Radeon has never done me wrong. If only I had a faster processor, I'd be playing Oblivion :P

*ahem.*

The GeForce 7300 comes in four editions: the SE, the LE, the GE, and the GT. All are 64-bit, except for the GT which is 128, and the memory bandwidth on the LE is 5.2GB/s, while the GT's is 10.7GB/s. Hooray.

I wonder when they make one that controls the trajectory of satellites too?

ATI Radeon x1600, and it needs to last at least two years.

ure proc and graphics card will handle it.. but teh ram may bea problem, it'll run uber slow if you try and do anything monumental, i have a gig of ram and mine runs laggy. most of the AI and scripts are stored to teh ram duirng gamplay and cleared after use. i recommend at least 512mb ram but it's if you can afford an upgrade. so, your pc will run oblivion (assuming your video card is 128mb or above) but it'll have to be on near absolute minimun settings.. you may have a problem in cities and 'planes of oblivion' because of you ram tho.
