Check this out, users with an old CPU and videocard and enough ram will do just fine. At least .. good enough until they upgrade :)

It won't be long now until I will stop working on this web site and lock myself up in a room for a weekend and go play doom3. :)

I have a 2.4 ghz p4 from intel, with 512mb ram, 256mb x800 video card from asus and 320 gb hard drive space. I think I'll do just fine on my 22" monitor :P w00t w00t w00t

You'll need more RAM. I needed a GB just for UT2k4.

Developers say it will run just fine with 512 MB. The minimum is 384. All the professional reviews bear this out as well.

I only have 512 megabytes and I can run UT2k4 just fine.

I could too, but levels would take an eternity to load, the first few minutes of the game would be less than fully responsive, and when the game was exited, the system would be extremely sluggish for the following few minutes. People at my office had the same problem.

I had texture details all the way up, so each to his own.

Just ordered myself a Leadtek Geforce 6800GT for Doom3 and Half Life 2 :D

I have a 2 GHZ P4 with a 128mb Radeon 9000 pro and 1 gb of ram. I hope that is good enough.

Looks like my laptop and homepc will run it with a bump in ram :)

Yeah, same here. I was just hoping that everyone would ignore me and I wouldn't have to admit it.

Well, I just ran out and bought another 512 megs, and UT runs much better and my computer doesn't lag afterwards. I guess I'm all set for Doom 3.
