While RTS games should be fine, Fallout 3 and Oblivion might need a more powerful video card. I got an Nvidia 8600GT in my Macbook Pro and I imagine this is near the bare minimum requirements..
I'm a student in school and would like to spend between $400-500, maybe extending that range a little bit if absolutely necessary.

The first option from newegg has a Geforce 9100. I'm not a computer-head, but the reviews at the site have said they are able to run Oblivion. The Geforce 9100 was listed as "class 3" according to this site. The Radeon HD 3200, which I know at least the second option runs with, is also listed as class 3. So, I would assume the laptops with this video would also be able to run the games as well.
