thats because you dont need a top spec pc...all this hyp about gfx cpus..etc 
is all crap...i got 3 pcs...which range from a geforce 3 up to a 9800 with 
2800ghz cpu and it makes sod all difference.....doom 3 is capped at 60fps 
and anything above 40 is undistinguishable to the human eye,,,trust me im a 
doctor..;)
