so what do you guys think?

reason for the upgrade: cant handle me gayputer, also because of doom 3 :D

do you guys think ill be able to run doom3 at 1024*watever in medium setting and get acceptable fps?

thanks
 
I don't see why not. From the loks of it yer planning on setting your cpu to run at a 3200+, or else you wouldn't be buying pc3200 memory. I'm guessing you should run the game fine, but not all super hihg like the people in here with their 6800's and x800's though
 
yup ill be oc'ing my cpu to 3200+ speeds. My target is 1024*XXX in med seting, if i can hit that in doom3 then ill be super happy with my system :)
