Dual core is not necessary. 1 gig of ram is absolutely necessary. 2's only for world editing.
Anyhow, I'm running off my 6600GT at low settings and decent FPS. I'm getting a vid card upgrade in a week though =)
I do NOT like the console interface and mindset. That's a groan that I'll never forgive bethesda for.
However, Oblivion has much of what Morrowind mods tried to add. Lots of AI flavor, horses. A number of basic things have been fixed. Magic regens like fatigue, and every action uses fatigue. The ability to character edit has been expanded greatly and in-game.
Alchemy is not overpowered due to limited # of potions you may drink within a given amount of time. For the flower pickers, remember, Raistlin was an herbalist. Much of the fire and brimstone, the summoning of daedra from oblivion, lightning from the fingertips and command fire and ice started from knowledge of the little rose petals.
TES will never be for some people. You can keep quiet. The rest of us will have fun with the combat system, the endless world expanse, the wild quests and in-game libraries of Elder scrolls lore... note to self, make mod to restore the real barenziah volume II... and the almost unlimited means to play the game and develop my character as I will.
Only reason I stopped playing Morrowind is because I've explored every dark shadow of that place.
