'Ello, folks. I have Doom 3 for the XBox, but I really want to check out the modding community for it, so I ask the question: What is required for Doom 3 to run *well*? They sell GeForce6800's for cheap at the Staples near me these days; will that + 1 GB RAM + 2.8 GHz Pentium IV cut it?

Quoting from the official site:


3D Hardware Accelerator Card Required - 100% DirectX® 9.0b compatible 64MB Hardware Accelerated video card and the latest drivers*.
English version of Microsoft® Windows® 2000/XP
Pentium® IV 1.5 GHz or Athlon® XP 1500+ processor or higher
384MB RAM
8x Speed CD-ROM drive (1200KB/sec sustained transfer rate) and latest drivers
2.2GB of uncompressed free hard disk space (plus 400MB for Windows® swap file)
100% DirectX® 9.0b compatible 16-bit sound card and latest drivers
100% Windows® 2000/XP compatible mouse, keyboard and latest drivers
DirectX® 9.0b (included)
MULTIPLAYER REQUIREMENTS:
Internet (TCP/IP) and LAN (TCP/IP) play supported
Internet play requires broadband connection and latest drivers
LAN play requires network interface card and latest drivers
Important Note: *Some 3D accelerator cards with the chipset listed here may not be compatible with the 3D accelerator features utilized by Doom 3. Please refer to your hardware manufacturer for 100% DirectX 9.0b compatibility. This product does not support Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/ME or NT.
SUPPORTED CHIPSETS:
ATI® Radeon(tm) 8500
ATI® Radeon(tm) 9000
ATI® Radeon(tm) 9200
ATI® Radeon(tm) 9500
ATI® Radeon(tm) 9600

All nVidia® GeForce(tm) 4MX series

I'm pretty sure your computer would be able to run doom 3 pretty well. Maybe not at 1600x1050 with ultra-detail, but well enough.
EDIT: This question is also answered in the faq.

How about:

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400 processor
- 1 GB DDR2 800MHZ memory
- GeForce 8600 GT 256MB
- Windows Vista Ultimate

That's the next system I'm currently building.
