Should at least speed the game up if nothing else.' (Gorgonseye). 'One thing you could try out is toning down the game's graphic scales and/or resolution. I believe it is your ram that might be the problem, but I would.
I love this game so I know you must be frustrated when it continuously crashes. I'm running a 3 Ghz P4 Prescott, 1 GB Dual Channel DDR400 RAM, the X800XT and a couple of 200/250GB SATA HDDs. I think I eventually fried that card and now I'm running on an X800XT with a multitude of different crashes, though they aren't as frequent or random. I used to run Oblivion on a second hand X800XL with which I experienced random crashes and some buggy video. I also occasionally get crashes when I try to equip something in the inventory and very occasionally get a crash and an error message complaining that the memory at such and such address could not be read, something that I also had a couple of times with Quake 4. Granted I had saved with a spectral reaver running at me. If the loads are more spaced out then I can usually get a lot more of them in but getting under 10 seconds of play time before the game crashes just isn't fun. In areas where I'm dying a lot I seem to consistently get two loads before the game crashes. Ok, now I'm getting really pissed off with the hideous instability of Oblivion on my computer and I'm wondering whether it's just my spec/combination of mods or if it's this bad for everyone.
