pretty much all of my PC upgrades have been due to wanting to run a new game well. what's the big deal?

if you're just going to browse the internet and type up documents, why get anything beyond a Pentium 2?

I'll get a new vid card for HL2 and Doom, but not solely for Doom. IMO it's not worth it. The gameplay is hardly different from the originals, nothing particularly new for a storyline either. Overall I'm disappointed with doom for all the hype it got.

i agree, although i'm not dissapointed. everything gets hyped nowdays. i've been disappointed enough times now that i always expect subpar products. in fact, the more hype it gets, the worse i expect it to be.

anyway, although i've enjoyed the game so far, i think this review hits the nail on the head: http://www.somethingawful.com

scroll down to Tuesday, August 10; On Doom 3.

seems like a fair assessment

altho, for someone like me who likes scary/morbid/macabre themes and imagery like a fat kid love cake, i love this game
i also have some friends who share that same feeling

Overclock it

I went up 50mhz on mine... and that is pretty much average. But that's my card...

Your card:
Stock: 380gpu/320mem
OC(You can hit): 460gpu/350mem
