What laptop do you have? And what external GPU are you looking at? I haven't seen one in years

Im considering purchasing this. http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/External_Graphics_Card/XG_Station/

Edit, nevermind. This only works for vista and xp. Not 7. Blah. Going to have to upgrade my tower. Its so demonic, friend.

that's an old cpu. I doubt your motherboard is gonna support newer chips, so you're probably gonna have to replace that as well. honestly you're probably looking at replacing everything but the hdd and the case:

The thing is breh if you're serious about your Oblivion/Fallout/Skyrim then you gotta play it on PC. Bethesda realise that the community actually MAKES the games what they are and as such they make it very easy to create new mods. I have about 20 different mods right now for New Vegas but the difference in gameplay/performance/visuals is . They have made it much easier than ever to mod as well with the Nexus Mod Manager, it's literally 2-3 clicks and you're good to go. You're shooting yourself in the foot as a gaming fan if you're not playing on a PC.

Playing Fallout on the consoles is like to me. Game altering glitches alone can ruin the game. With the pc console commands you can make things right and have a little more fun.
