Forum:How well could this system run Fallout 3 for PC

I currently have a Compaq V6000t notebook, it can run Oblivion at medium settings; but I'm looking at upgrading to a new system so I can run Mac OS X and XP.

How well would this be able to run Fallout:

Dell Inspiron 530n w/

OS: Linux Preinstalled (Going to put Mac OS X and XP on it)

CPU: Intel Core2 Quad processor Q9300 (6MB L2, 2.5GHz, 1333FSB)

RAM: 4GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 4DIMMs

HDD: 2x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

Video Card: EVGA 01G-P3-N870-AR GeForce 9600 GT 1GB 256-bit GDDR3

Monitor: 19" TFT LCD Display


 * If you are paying more than $1,000 for that system, you are being ripped off. I mean without the monitor, of course.  --MadDawg2552 16:27, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, that is a hell of a lot better than my system (single core 2.4 - 1gb - 6600gt), and I'm running the game fine, albeit in Low Detail.

I'm Pretty sure you already know how fallout will run on that System--DarkestStrife 08:16, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

My computer has 1.5 GB of RAM, a 3 ghz Pentium 4 processor and an AGP Radeon X800GT with 256mb of VRAM. It runs Fallout 3 fine as long as I put no special effects on, large textures and max viewing distance is fine. PlasmaFox 20:04, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
