Well, almost. Doom 3's graphics at the best setting are unleashed at 512mb compressed, while you have a sweet graphics card, there isn't really a commerically available card option yet for Doom 3's graphics that isn't horrendous money. You'll get Half Life - 2 and Battlefield 2 running on top spec on the machine, I wouldn't worry too much anyway, they're class (esp HL2) in comparison to Doom 3 (I own all of em) which is, simply, not fun to play.

Far cry. Simply, imo, the best game ever. Amazing graphics.

My advice is to get a single 1gig stick of ram now leaving you with the option to upgrade to 2gigs later by adding an extra stick.

Windows Vista is a memory hog (so if you were ever to upgrade windows you will need more ram) and newer games are going to need more than a gig. In 6 months time, a single stick upgrade to 2gigs will be a much better option.

On a related topic here, I remember a game from a few years ago, called Hostile Waters that I'm dying to get a hold of. I upgraded february just gone, but have been so far unable to find it.

Mmm, are you free next weekend?

See I need to marry you, or have my children. The order of those is up to you

hahahaha:D

Hah, your in exactly the same position as myself. I havent had a decent PC in years so when I built my PC at the moment the first thing I did was start hoarding all the games I never got to play...and ironically enough Hostile Waters was the last game I bought for my 'ol Gateway!

i had 384mb ram, 128mb radeon 9200 i think and 1.5ghz duron and doom 3 worked great for me
