Doom3 suggested graphics settings - WTF?

I just got my shiney new Geforce 6600GT card, and Doom3 suggested only
640x480 at medium quality!  I set it manually to 1024x768 high quality
(which the reviews say I should be able to do well), but it doesn't
seem real "smooth".  CPU is a P4 Northwood 3.0.  RAM is 1G.

What's up with this?

It's not your card.  I've been using a 6600GT at 1024x768, high quality,
all advanced options turned on except vertical sync.  It runs pretty
smooth (40-60 fps).  The fps drops during monster attacks and steam
effects.  CPU is Intel P4 3MHz.  RAM is 1G.

Last time I played it was at 1280x1024 and it is mostly very smooth even
at that resolution.  There was an occasional problem spot where it hitched
a tad.
