I enjoyed playing the original Doom when it came out, and I haven't been able
to play the latest version, Doom 3, because I don't have the right hardware.
It has pretty exacting requirements. I happen to need a new desktop computer
due to the disc on my old Dell starting to flake out and
this time I will make sure it supports Doom 3. Here are the Doom 3 hardware
requirements:
- 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
