ok so I dont really know the hardware in my computer, but I know I have like 5GB of ram and a really good nvidia graphics card. But when I play oblivion from what I can tell its the frames that are going too fast, the FPS. I dont know how to change it or do anything to help. Sound is messing up its going so fast, the combat has no sound, which seems to come later after the attack, and my character runs rediculously fast.
help!

You can download a program called fraps that will tell you your actual frames per second.

Not that high frames per second in video games can have an impact on sound.

Games arent like a movie where theres a set number of frames and if you play more frames per second you speed up the action. On a PC game the time take for a character to take a foot step is set by the program, the frames per second will determine how many "frames" are displayed during that time period of taking a single step.

Under performing systems can lead to things taking longer than they should but "over performing" systems will not mess up timing.

Your characters run speed is determined by your characters attributes NOT by how many frames per second you are showing the game at. (an underperforming system can slow a character down but no amount of processing power is going to speed it up past design speed)

Id guess you are having some sort of compatibility issues causing the sound issues or a general CPU problem.

Some more specifics on your hardware and operating system would help.

well. You dont really understand. The game is like lagging. And hey, I know attributes and stuff like that. I am a big ES fan. What I am experiencing is not normal. My character in the begining moves at an incredibly fast speed. I dont know what to do....

Turn off the turbo!

We need more details than 5 gigs of ram and good gfx card..

well I am not home currently. I will try and post it when I return to my home. But I dont know what turbo is... Have any of you got a guess as to what this might be? Experienced it before?

Turbo was an old button on PCs and snes controllers lol, made the cpu go CrAzY. They pretty much don't have those anymore.. it was a joke
