p.s.

console sucks but they have 1 privilage over PC - they dont have to worry about upgrades and low FPS or something like that :rant: (though from the few games i played on PS2 some moments were laggy and FPS drop :/)

Can you say "The getaway" ? Sheesh that game lagged constantly

That game SUCKED constantly.

You would be screwed if you just got a new Amd Atlon 2400, with an Ati Radeon 9000. Luckely it isn't me.

According to John Carmack (Developer of Doom) the minimum requirements for Doom 3 will be:

1.0 Ghz Athlon/Pentium 4 CPU.
256MB of RAM
GeForce 1 / Radeon 7xxx series graphics card.
(This will of course affect dynamic lighting dramatically, you'll only get about 30 fps maximum on 640x480 (that terrible!!))

Recommended Requirements:

1.8 Ghz Athlon / Pentium 4 or higher speed CPU.
512MB of RAM + again quite dependant on how memory hungry your OS is.
GeForce 3 / Radeon 9xxx Series Graphics Cards.

Current (June/July 2003 and beyond) high-end systems should be kicking ass:

Athlon XP 3200+ 3.06Ghz Pentium 4 (with HT technology)
512MB of RAM+
Radeon 9800 XT or GeForce 5950 Ultra


In my opinion The True Requirements will be:

Athlon XP 2800+ / 2.5 Ghz Pentium 4 (To handle the lighting and Physics calculations)
512MB Ram+
Windows 2000/Xp Only (95/98/Me Not Supported)
GeForce 6800 Ultra 256 Mb / Radeon X800 Xt Platinum Edition (256Mb) (Both ship mid June/2004)

Doom itself will at the earliest ship 7/26/04 and according to Carmack they may finish testing by the end of August early September. I think that Doom may be out maybe out by the latest Christmas,2004. Id. Software said that they don't want to rush the completion of the Doom 3 engine as it is titled. Do to it being a new engine being built from the ground up, it mostly focuses on the High-Fidelity resolution in the shadows and textures.

All I can say is that I've waited 10 years i can try and wait another 3 -4 months. Doom 3 has been it development since Nov. 99 according to id.
Hopefully this is enough info to ease your mind and have some patience.

Woah Woah easy, those figuers have been around for maybe a year now, atleast several months. And PLEASE, PLEASE do not use that huge font and make it bold like that again.

I dont think it will even play on your system mate, you need a Direct X 9 compatible graphics card, such as the Radeon 9500 and upwards from that (9600Xt,9700,9800) - or a Geforce Fx series card (but not the Fx 5200)

Yes you can run a DX 9 game on a video card that doesn't support DX 9. The only thing is that it won't use the extra stuff that say DX 9 has compared to DX 8. So basically it would be running with DX 8
