I already bought the game. I never expected that the game would destroy my
system so badly (sub 30 FPS on "medium" quality). I don't have a dream
gaming rig, but Doom3 definitely makes me want to upgrade:
XP3200+
PC3200 512megs RAM
GeForce4 Ti4400

Still I think the game is amazing.

God I love people...I mean this is the equivalent of saying that if you have
a hobby outside of work that you are a loser. I assume then Judd that you
goto work, come home, eat, sleep then goto work? Because if you do anything
else you must not have a life. Just as in anything else there are
extremeists, but for the majority most people play games to help unwind and
get a little enjoyment. Some people fish, some people build model
airplanes, some people play video games.

I think your video card is the problem. I bet a ATI 9800 would make it more
playable.

No, Actually, I think it was Duke Nukem 3D before Doom wasn't it? I always
considered that to be the REAL 1st PC game to come out worth a hoot!

Another frame of reference, I deliberately tested similar enough
to their minimum spec'd system,

GF3Ti500
Athlon XP2000
384MB

Demo1 = ~ 20FPS 800x600, low quality

Raising clock speed of CPU by FSB increase (w/ sync'd memory)
showed nearly linear framerate increase.

HOWEVER, in the gameplay it wasn't "horrible" at 1024x768, medium
quality, 16bpp textures (no FSAA). It did occasionally stutter,
I suspect the limitation was the vidcard's 64MB memory, 'tis
better to have 128MB onboard mem for medium quality.

The game WAS quite playable at 800x600 low-quality, much better
than the timedemo framerate, but with those (minimal eye-candy)
settings much of the splendor of it was gone... looked more
detailed but no "wow" effect.

Windows 2000/XP is great for the average client. However, I do have a
webserver running Linux (RedHat 9) and am in the process of configuring a
new email server/web server/enemy territory server based on Fedora Core 3
RC1. So far I've got the email server up and running, apache is installed
but not configured (and is lacking PHP support), and I haven't even started
on the ET server. I figure by next weekend the entire thing will be done,
and I just need to find a place to colo it.

IIRC it was Wolfenstein 3D.

A) Wolf3d was first
B) I thought Duke3d was closer to to the first quake game (in terms of
the time it came out).
