    These are pretty much the exact same specs as with Oblivion.

    Actually no, I think they're a bit more. More RAM namely.

    Video card requirements would scale based on the time between the release of Oblivion and Fallout 3.

    But since they run using the same basic engine (I think), it isn't too surprising.

    I just hope there aren't many framerate issues with this game, as there was plenty in Oblivion (at least for the 360, and lower end PC users, and PS3 users I think).

      That's the minimums though. And anyone with even a passing knowledge of PC gaming, knows that 'Minimum' = 'Maybe you'll get a few FPS, at low settings'.

      Do you meet/beat the recommended specs? Laptops aren't generally great for gaming.
