Ridiculous

I finally snagged DOOM3 on Monday night and quickly installed it into my computer. I have to say it's excellent game, most areas is quite too dark to see, despite brightness scale is already jacked up to max. That forces me to use flashlight almost all times to be able to see what I'm bumping into. The graphic is excellent, but my computer keeps burning up, I had to remove the covering thing and place the fan toward my computer to keep it cool. Turns out DOOM3 is bit too much for my ATI Radeon 9500 pro card to handle, LOL.

Get one from your nearest shop or IRC.

i have a 9600 with 256mb of ram. I also have a AMD XP 2700 overclocked to a 3200. when i play halo and UT 2004 i turn the graphics all the way up and it runs perfectly. however i doubt it will run Doom 3 very nicley.

I am running it on medium settings which is still amazing on a athlon 1900, 512 ram, and a geforce3 ti200.

No, the min requirement to run DOOM3 on your PC is:
P4 1.5Ghz CPU (or equivalent).
384MB of RAM.
64MB graphics card (see below for chip details).
2GB of free hard drive space.
Video Cards:
GF FX (and higher).
Radeon 8500s, 9000s and higher.

My PC is only equipped with 1.40GHZ AMD Althon XP 1600, and 256mb RAM, along with ATI Radeon 9500 Pro video card.

I had to take my PC out of that desk slot thing, and remove the case, also use a fan toward this PC to keep it cool much as possible. Even change the resolution to lowest setting DOOM3 offers, and say 'No..' to full screen option to reduce frequency of lagging, and making DOOM3 more stable for my PC to handle. :( It's been crashing constantly, so changing these setting on DOOM3 options helped a lot.

This PC is hooked up with 1000w subwoofer, it adds postive points on playing DOOM3 since my PC cant really handle much.

I first played DOOM when I was about 12 years old. Man it was the best game I've played as a kid, comparing to it Wolfenstein 3D sucked.

doom 3 in essence is a basic fps... it is definitely nothing unique, the guns are dull, and the enemies get predictable. However, if graphics don't make a game, doom 3 is the game that shows otherwise. Doom isnt the best fps, but due to its graphics, sound, and darkness, it sets the mood so well that it freaks people out and turns what would have been a usual average fps into the nicest looking game ever. ever.
