Hi all, just wondering what the lowest spec PC running Doom3 is.

Here's my specs:
1.1ghz Athlon
256mb
FX5200 - 128mb
Win2000

Runs at 20fps with low detail, but with shadows and bumpmapping on. It's certainly playable at 20fps, and looks great - just thought I'd post to see what other low spec PC's can run it, the most notable thing about my setup is the 256mb memory, the minimum is apparantly 386mb!.

In the meantime, come in the IRC. Ask me for details!!.

I tried playing it on a low spec PC, just to see if i could... problem was i've been running on either medium 800x600 or high 800x600, with all the fun stuff and usually AAx4. Problem was, I couldn't stand the low quality of the radeon 8500 and Centrino (laptop #3 ), and it was only running at 19 FPS... on lowest detail, no extras, and no AA.

Been running it at 60FPS on high details and you just can't go back to low quality .

Note: had a bit of slow down in delta labs on high, but on medium, no slowdown

Specs: AMD 64bit 3200+, Gigabyte GA-K8NS Pro motherboard, ATI Radeon 9600XT 128mb, 120GB Maxtor 7200RPM, 17 inch flat screen, and 1.5 MBIT
