Oy all-

I am getting ready to go out and purchase Doom 3 for pc, but am not entirely sure im translating the system req's from the website correctly. The req's are pasted at the bottom of the post. I'm currently running an ATI Radeon X700 Pro, a gig of ram, an AMD Athlon 64 3200+, and...uh... i dunno if there's anything else i need to include here. If there is...I'd be happy to figure out what it is. So...if anyone has the tech expertise to tell me if the system i described above is going to be enough to power the system spec's below, i'd be really appreciative. Thanks in advance! Um, i also got Sys spec to gimme my sys...specs. they're right here too.

Well, it looks like your PC can do the job, the only thin is that your videocard isn't in the list of suported ones, but I cannot imagine that X700 wouldnt do the job, to be exactly sure, I reccomand you this: G oto Gamespot.com, search for Doom3 for PC, and click on the button to check if your PC is up to scratch.

yup youll be fine, i reccomend quake 4 over doom 3 i never liked doom3 theres a point where dark and atmospoheric becomes annoying and detracts from the game, its safe to say they crossed the point fairly quickly, like 3 minutes into the game quickly.

Haha, I just love Doom3, I don't like Quake4, but what you say is true
