I have no idea why it's not working for you, especially if you tried it in 
both the in-game menu and the control panel, however...

You are aware Doom 3 must be restarted for AA settings to take effect? (Make 
sure you click 'Apply' in the graphics settings too)

The 9800 Pro doesn't support 8x and 16x AA

AA will slow down your gameplay considerably!!!!!!!

I too use a 9800 Pro for Doom 3, and performance is good...... ~56fps in the 
timedemo (High Settings @ 800*600). I really don't see AA as being a 
necessary part of Doom 3's graphics. You should just leave your remaining 
power (if any) for the more chatoic bits in game. I am nearly always running 
the game at 60fps, with frequent drops to ~40fps... but that's still pretty 
damn good?

Oh, and I'm using Omega's 2.6.25a Drivers, which are based on the ATI 
Catalyst 5.4

Hope this helps?!
