My system:

Athlon 1700
512MB RAM
GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB 4X AGP
Windows XP

Running Doom 3 on the lowest possible detail and resolution settings,
my timedemo gives an average of 33.4 fps.

Wow.

I am shocked.  My system specs barely meet the minimum requirements
given by Id Software.  And sure enough, the game looks playable on a
minimum spec computer when using minimum detail settings.  For the
first time in ages, a game is released that was actually honest about
the minimum specs for gameplay.

kudos to Id Software.
