August 31, 200421 yr also, anything that meets doom 3's minimum requirements will run it well, they coded it quite well

August 31, 200421 yr Author a 8500? wow... ppl even say a 9200 wouldn't work well on medium.I actually don't know if I have a fan, I'll ask my dad, and ofcourse I want to overlock it.

August 31, 200421 yr I am running My system as this on 1024 x 768 Ultra. That is NOT HIGH. THAT IS ULTRA. AA is on 2xQ System is as follows. Abit NF2 NF7-S at 220fsb Proc at 2500mhz. 512mb of PC3500 in Dual Chnl. MSI 128mb GF4 TI 4200 300 core and 600 mem. I get between 20 and 50 FPS which is perfectly playable and it looks killer in Just DX8. I have other systems running with CPU's at 1700mhz 200fsb 512mb ram and slightly overclocked GF4 TI4200's. They play 1024 x 768 at medium extremely well. I have some systems running CPU's at 1700mhz and running GF3 TI200's that are overclocked. They run 800x600 high quality very well. To show your FPS in DOOM3....... CTRL ALT ~ Keys depressed. Type in this ( com_showfps 1 ) and hit enter. Ripper. That is a good course of action. Wait till you can afford a better videocard. 9800's will be less expensive by then also. Just don't get a 9800SE. They are nerfed 9800's with only half the texture pipelines open. BTW Ripper. I have 4 of thos Mobo's in the basement. They are FAST, reliable, Inepensive, and a great bargain. Magey, Radioactive, and my Daughter all run them with overclocked Bartons. 2100mhz to 2200mhz. As for a heat sink as I believe your are talking about. The STCOK AMD heat sink if you get a retail CPU is a decent cooler. I would save the money and just use this one. I actually am using one on a system and overclcoking with it. If you are getting a OEM cpu w/o a heatsink then get one from these reviews....... Find a coler that is inexpensive and quiet but near the top. http://www.overclockers.com/articles373/socketA.asp
