Thanks.
The 7300 GS isn't even worth rating fps wise - you can't even find it online at a place like Toms Hardware. Do yourself a favor and find an and ATI x800 GTO AGP version if you want to squeeze some additional life out your older sys. One guy out here just got one and it play Oblivion just fine at 1024x768. Expect about $150 with a 256 MB version if you look around enough. The guy that just got one out here bought his for $140.
