Download 3DMark2003 from Futuremark.com (register a free account so you 
can UL results and browse later), run it, then upload your results to 
their O.nline R.esult B.rowser (automatically connects and uploads), you 
should be able to compare favorably to quite a few systems with 9800 Pro 
cards.  Sounds like you have a decent rig.  Your video card will be your 
bottleneck.  Especially for Doom3.  As great a card as the 9800 Pro is, 
the games have already run right by it.  I have one sitting in a box 
with a couple dozen 'older' cards now.
