Too bad it has a 5200fx for a video card...
It's a nice computer, but it isn't going to be too good for doom :).

Why even bother throwing d3 in with that video card. That's gonna be a complete slideshow.

I can play D3 on my Geforce3 at 640x480 with mid to low detail. Works just fine but I'm waiting for a 6600GT to play anymore... Point is, this card should pack enough punch to play it at a somewhat decent resolution. Maybe not without all the eye candy but not everyone cares about that.

Seeing as an fx5200 is generally slower than a gf3 (especially if it has 64 bit memory, which this one may or may not have), I don't really think it'll have enough punch to play it with good frame rates at virtually any level.

Seriously? Jeeze... I had no idea. I haven't payed attention to video cards until the 6800 came out. My bad.

Umm...that's got pc2700 ram...I thought to run the mem 1:1 w/ the cpu, you needed pc3200...That + the fx5200 would take out most of the punch of this system...
