Couldn't find any specs of the tested system on that blog - are they somewhere glaringly obvious?

Oblivion is what I'm going to be mostly playing on the new system I'm receiving (which, incidentally, I ordered with Vista64).

The document below, from Tweakguides, is a pretty impressively-compiled resource on getting the most out of Oblivion, performance-wise. I fully expect to even be able to install some graphical upgrades like Qarl's Textures and do some LOD tweaking on my new rig, and you should be able to as well..

PS: This guy lists a collection of visual mods he installed on his game, and on the second page of the thread, there are some pretty amazing screenshots of his modded Oblivion - I've never seen anything look that good:
