I am getting a new PC to replace this old laptop. It will have Windows XP 64 bit. pre-installed. Anyone know how well Doom3 plays with Windows XP Pro 64 bit? I realize Windows XP Pro 64 bit is BRAND NEW but the company I ordered my PC from http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/ and they have it listed as an option for OS already. I bought an AMD 64 3200+ with GeForce 6800. NVIDIA does have 64 bit drivers on their website. Any help is appreciated.

You might have to get an MSI patch (google for "doom3 msi patch") or use the manual installation instructions from Activision, but there isn't any real reason you shouldn't get it working.
