Building/Upgrading a PC for TS2
jsalemi:
I don't have too many problems playing TS2 on my Dell laptop. It takes a little longer to load than on my desktop, and there's a bit more lag on occasion, but it's still playable. Only thing I did was reduce the number of sims on a comm lot to something like 5 or 6 to cut the lag down.
(Oh, and I do see the fish. :) )

LOL (and I did), when everyone started to mention fish, I had to look around to see what they meant. I've never seen any fish in the pond, I didn't even know they where supposed to be there.
So I'm guessing I'll not be missing them. The one thing that worries me is Oblivion. But as Neriana pointed out, there are older games. Now I'm getting ready to find Baldur's Gate again. I know I had both I and II. Where are they, rassafrassinconsarnit!

Frankly, you never know until you try these things, I think. From the posts on BV problems, it seems to me that the one consistent thing is that problems are inconsistent across computers that have the same general specs and the same video cards. Your laptop sounds fine for TS2, considering my rig and its outdated video and paltry 1Gig of RAM. I have had no problems. A lot depends on the quality of components. Best of luck, srsly. (I went straight from UNI to BV with no intervening EPs - my sims don't even know what fish are. Imagine graduating from university with that kind of a hole in your knowledge. :D )

Pffft. Today's education system... Why, when I was young, they made us go to school everyday, including Saturday and Sunday. Six miles, uphill both ways, through 6 feet of snow. Those young 'uns nowadays.. sad, sad, sad.
But I did threaten bribe my relative to install Oblivion on her computer - just to see, okay? I wasn't going to make her let me play it or nothing -. And it worked. It played at the highest resolution and no stuttering, hopping or skipping.
Unfortunately I failed to threaten bribe her into installing TS2. She claims that it would take too long (all EP's). Pfft. Today's youngsters have no idea about patience. Why, when I was young... (okay, okay, I'll shut up :))

I also recommend Planescape: Torment, and I bet both Star Wars: KotOR games will work as well. Also Morrowind if you haven't played it -- I find the setting far more interesting than Oblivion's.
When I was young, I had to switch BGII discs during nearly every loading screen! And the load times were so long I was able to finish my homework during them. Now I bitch about having to install a game from more than one DVD.
