With those specs you should be able to play just fine.

I played it fine on my system (1GB RAM @DDR400, A64 3000+) before I got my new card. I had been using my 5200 128MB card, and it ran fine. I played on the lowest resolution but it played great and looked awesome.

I can't. I was getting ready to replace this 1.4 ghz Athlon-B space heater when my car just sort of . . . stopped working. Now I have a new car instead of a new computer.

Cars don't play Doom 3. Well, mine doesn't anyway.

i just can't stand the thought of running low detail
i wanna run 1600x1200 or 1280x1024 with 4x AA

ohhh well

i can't believe the fact that even the fastest card out right now don't even get over 60fps

Run video out to a large screen tv looks ok then. Almost like playing a console but better.

Hard to get over 60 fps when the game is capped ;)

You can't afford to run Doom3?

If you have that nice setup, you should be able to spare a couple to replace your geforce 5200.

hint: hot deals section for 9800 pro.

I couldn't afford the $60 to get it new in stores, so I got it in the FS/FT forum for $40 :).
