Firstly, Every current card (on their own) will struggle with oblivion. Hell, some of the midrange cards would break into sweat with Morrowind turned up to its full settings (with the better mods of corse). Its just the nature of the ES series.
The 6600GT would surfice for practily everyting atm, as would the X1600. Wich is actualy a tad better than the 6600GT, closer to a 6800. I know, i had one. Llwyd now uses it, and is going crossfire very soon. I would recomend you get a X1600XT from a reputable retailer.
Edit: And couple it with the omega drivers, not the cats.

Hey guys as ya know i got a new system amd 3000 n a asus a8n sli i was able to get my cou at 2.71 stable. Now the only problem is that the memory settings where wrong it was at 200mhz n wat i did was i changed it to 400 cuz i have DDR400 rams. N now when the pc turns on n when it is about to enter windows it restarts plz help thanks. I tried restarting bios still not good =(.
ddr400 is supposed to run at 200mhz.
data is sent twice each clockcycle giving you a virtual frequency of 400.
have to clear cmos.
dont know if your board has it but on some overclock speeds can be reset to stock by pressing a certain button for example.
should be written clearly in the manual if your board has such a function.

Actually Raven, Asus boards name their dividers for what the RAM is called. so for a 1:1 divider, it's called DDR400. 1:2 divider is called DDR200.
Now, probably the reason you're comp is messing is cause you're using a 1:1 divider. This means that your RAM will run at the same speed as your HTT (x2 for effective speed). Thus, you're trying to run your RAM at DDR542, not DDR400 (I think, depends on what you're multiplier is)! Obviously you're RAM can't handle that high. Now, since it's freezing right before entering Windows, you can probably just head into your BIOS and change the divider. Set it back to 200mhz for now till you tell us more about your settings (HTT, multiplier, etc). If you can't get into your BIOS, you'll have to reset your CMOS (as Raven said). Now, there should be a jumper sitting over 2 out of 3 pins right next to the CMOS battery (looks like a watch battery) on your board. Move that jumper over so that it is covering the other pin plus the middle pin. Wait a few seconds (10 or so) and then move it back over to the pins it was originally on. Obviously for safety reasons, make sure your comp is OFF and the power plug is UNPLUGGED!
