XMas '07 for a Low-end PC

Ugh, I'm having a heck of a time finding games to ask for this year because my PC is on the way older side:

• AMD Athlon XP 2900
• nVidia 6600GT 128Mb
• 1Gb RAM

I prefer RPGs (single-player; no MMORPGs if you please) and strong adventure games. I've tried to get into RTS but can't do it. Any thoughts about recent titles that will run OK on my machine? Here's a list of some of the recent-ish titles I own and/or am already asking for:

• ESV Oblivion (owned)
• NWN2 (owned)
• Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (owned)
• Guild Wars (owned/tried/hated)
• NWN2: Mask of the Betrayer (requested XMas)
• Two Worlds (requested XMas)

Thanks for any thoughts.

Why not ask for new Computer components?Tsunami23

I really enjoyed morrowind, also I enjoyed overlord, both games should run on your comp fine

I know morrowind is es3 while oblivion is supposed to be "better", but i enjoyed morrowind much more, along with many people i know (i'm not the only person who felt that oblivion was dumbed down for the consoles), and it also has easier demands on the computeing side

Thanks for the replies. Morrowind is one of my all-time faves, although I thought Oblivion was disappointing and I never finished it; I mentioned it only because it was a recent purchase and because it runs okay on my current system.

Re. the "new components" suggestion: thanks for that, but the upgrade is going to be an '08 project, and I don't trust anybody in my family to buy components for me. Games though, they can do. :P

I was hoping that I might be able to get The Witcher, which interests me, but the minimum spec. requires an Athlon 64 and I have an Athlon XP; not sure it's going to be playable. (Anybody tried it on a low-end rig like mine?)

Then just ask for money or a gift certificate and buy the parts yourself.
