It will run it but u will get really low frams per second (FPS) and thats with all the cool shadows and techtures off. I would recomend getting a new vidio card,Processor,and maybe even another 512 of RAM.That will give you the best game play,but sure u can prob run it.

Yah that vidio card should be fine,the cpu should be fine as well but if you want to upgrade i would go with the ahtlon 2500+ and overclock it to a 3000+ it will lower the life time a bit but u can prob pick one up for around 60-70$ maybe lower if on sale.

To install your new vidio card........

-Shut down your PC
-Unplug the power cable and all other connections from the case
-Open the case
-Ground yourself of static electricty by touching something metal
-Find the vidio card and unscrew the screw holding it to the case
-Remove the vidio card from the motherboard
-Install the new vidio card into the same slott
-Close the case
-Plug everything back into the case
-Start up your PC
-If your card didnot come with a CD with the latest drivers go to the website and find your vidio card and there driver section
-Download and install the drivers and restart your PC

There you go u have a new vidio card and are ready to play some doom3

Good luck and post if u need further help.

sweet i cant wait this video card is suppost to be kick ass lol but knowing the computer industry it will be old about an hour after i buy it lol, but thanks for the advice i will be shure to blow a zombies face off for you guys lol :D

I would recomend that u get atleast 2-3 years in with this card there is really no game out right know except for doom3 that needs that kind of power,but soon all games will be made with the same engines as doom3 and hl2 and everyone will have to upgrade if they want the preformance the game can show. good luck agin,

[Reminissions]

thanks guys i will tell you my oppinion on the game when i play it but im really excited lol

what card are you planning to buy? keep in mind that doom3 was programmed for nvidia compatibility, ATI cards will have a tougher time running the game (without the fix, which may or may not be legal, I have no idea)

your PC should be able to run it just fine as-is, if you don't mind low resoloution and an FPS of about 20...

and yes, the game is DARK, it scared the living shit out of me...very well done, since you can't use the flashlight and shoot at the same time. without the flashlight, all you see is blurry shadows moving towards you...and oh god, the screams and moans...


ABSOLOUTELY DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME WITHOUT A GOOD SOUND SYSTEM. I cannot stress this enough. at the very least, have some good quality stereo headphones...if you can, hook it into a 5.1 surround system. its worth the money you'll be spending on new pants once you shit yourself.

btw, I was playing it at work on a P4 1.7ghz, 256mb SDRAM with Radeon 9200SE Pro, and it was running smoothly (windowed so I don't get booked for gaming instead of working).

an frum all the talez ive heard bout yer work, soundz like u have a fair bit ov fun there.

You can get it pirated off of www.supernova.com but you'll have to go and find the tourents for it and shit.
