    Problem running Doom 3 - 640x480 and 30fps???

    Here are my specs: Athlon 64 3000+ 1 GB of Corsair PC3200 RAM PNY Geforce 6800 I tried running it at 1280x1024 on high quality with NO AA or AF and I've been getting framerate issues. It would be at 60 if I stare at a wall or go through a tight hallway, 30-40 when walking around fairly...
