How Are the i9100's Going to Handle Doom 3?

I partly went all out on this machine because I want it to handle video editing and of course Doom 3.

It's going to run a P4 3ghz 800fsb w/128meg 9700 Ati, and 512meg ram which will be immediately upgraded to 1gig ram.

I'm thinking Doom 3 should scream on it. But I can't think of any other games that will be as graphically intense to do comparable benchmarks on.
How do you think it will run? Thoughts?

fear not grasshopper, i'm sure the 9100/xps will be more than able to handle any new games coming out in the next year at least even without another gpu upgrade (my old 8200 handled all new games for 2 years, and only now is it not able to play far cry, so hence i've moved up to an xps ). And if not, you can rest assure that no other laptop out there would be able to

but as you know, the xps will be getting another guaranteed gpu upgrade within the next several months and i'm sure more thereafter, so you'll be fine (9100 is the same as xps but you would have to upgrade yourself which should be easy to do)
