I recently bought a Acer Aspire 5610Z and want to put the elder scrolls: Oblivion onto it, but I am not sure if my system can handle it. I have an Intel Pentium dual core processor T2060, 1 gig of ram, but the chipset is mobile intel 940/943/945GML (no idea what it means its coming out of the users guide) featuring intel graphics media acceleratotr (GMA) 950, up to 224MB of shared system memory, supporting microsoft direct X 9.0. It's quite a mouthfull but all I want to know is if it can handle Oblivion, and maybe the knights of the nine expansion.

I play Oblivion and I don't think a laptop is going to do well at all with that. That is a very graphic intensive game, Didn't even do to well with p4 2.6 ht 1.5 GB mem and bfg 6800 GTOC. It ran but not like I am used to seeing, very sluggish on higher resolutions

As a general rule, laptops are not made to be gaming machines.
There are several out there that can run games and run them well but they also cost an arm and a leg.
The GMA950 is not the greatest adapter in the world, but you might be able to play Oblivion at it's lowest settings. The laptop has enough computing power, just not a lot of graphic power.
Really all you can do is try it. If it doesn't work then it doesn't work.
