A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500: Though these will run the game, Silverman suggests a 2GHz Pentium or equivalent, with the "ideal" processor being 3 GHz or over.
Great not only do I have to get a new video card, which I have been planning on doing any way. Now I have to upgrade my Gaming PC to a P4 3Ghz or higher from a P4 2.4Ghz. Which I was going to do any way.
I have never played any of the DOOM series so I might not even buy the game.
AMD does not run at 3 ghz, however their chips are more efficient... so I'm assuming they mean an Athlon 3000+ or higher. I should be fine then, with the 3200+. The GeForce 5900 might struggle a bit, but should be alright.
I can play UT2k4 on all details set to high with all details (full shadows etc) turned on and get barely any lag, so i should be able to play this.
My graphics and processor should handle it,
3.4Ghz Pentium 4 (I rechecked and learned I was mistaken, it wasnt 2.7 it was 3.4 ) and a 64mb Intel Gaming graphics card.
