Grimm Posted March 3, 2008 '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? 0 Share this post Link to post
