Re: doom 3

Yes something, like Radeon 9600XT. 128 mb up to 9800 Pro 128 mb.
Or Geforce FX 5700 Ultra and up.

And 64 mb video card memory, wont be sufficient. At least 128 mb video card memory is a must!
Your integrated SIS card, is too weak. And I dont think it's even Direct X 9.0 compatible.

But before, you run down to the hardware dealers. Make sure that your motherboard really got an AGP port!

Check out, by downloading "Everest Home" and klick the "Motherboard button".
If Everest, cant tell you if your motherboard is equipped with AGP port. Make anote of your motherboards manufacturer and model. And then visit the Manufacturers home.
And take a look at your mobos specifications.

If it shows, that your mobo, does'nt have an AGP port. You must get an PCI Videocard, that will fit into any ordinary PCI slot on your mobo.

I would recommend Jaton FX 5700LE. 128 mb. PCI video card 104 USD. at newegg. This is the most powerful pci Videocard, you can get. Second most powerful: PNY FX 5500. 128mb. PCI Video card.

And dont confuse PCI video cards, with PCI - Express! PCI - Express, wont fit your board.

Here is the system requirements for DOOM 3


Minimum Specifications

* A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500.
* 384 megabytes of memory.
* Two gigabytes of hard drive space.
* An nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card or better; or an ATI Technologies 8500 or better.
Recommended Specifications

* 2Ghz CPU or AMD 2500+
* 512 megabytes of memory.
* Two gigabytes of hard drive space.
* Radeon 9700 or an nVidia GeForce4 ti4600 graphics card or better.
* 5.1 surround sound audio

Worry Free Specifications

* 3 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 64 3000+.
* 1 gigabyte of memory.
* Two gigabytes of hard drive space.
* An nVidia 6800 graphics card or an ATI X800XT
* 6.1 surround sound audio


The Lowest supported GPU is a Geforce 4 MX (which is even lower performing than a Geforce 3).

Supported video cards will be:
GF 4MX
GF 3
GF 4
GF FX 5X00 series and higher
RADEON 8500s, 9000s and higher


In PC Gamer's Exclusive world premiere review, they recommend at least:

Any 2Ghz CPU.
512MB RAM.
Radeon 9800 or equiv (ie FX5900)
5-channel sound card and speakers

-----------------------------
Case: Antec P180B + 2 X 120mm Noctua fans.
Psu: Corsair TX 750W
Mobo: Gigabyte P35-DS3 P.
Cpu: E6850 3.6GHz
Cooler: Scythe Ninja.
Video cards: 2 X Sapphire HD 4870.
W.D. Caviar 640 mb SATA 2 Black.
Sound: Auzentech X FI Prelude.
Speaks: Camebridge Desktop Theatre.
OS: XP Pro 32 + SP 3.

Re: doom 3

Nope, buddy. Just to even start, Doom 3 must have certain graphics card capabilities you don't have. If you seriously want to get into gaming, you must take goranpaa's and the other's advice and buy a graphics card. One that hauls ass, to be specific .
