Yep you will have no problems playing DoomIII! I have read though that DoomIII highest quality settings suggest a 512 card for best performance but I cant tell a difference on my 9300 256 6800Go!

I believe 512 cards have shown no performance gain on Doom 3. My old Radeon 9800 128mb ran the game at 1280x1024 on ultra settings.

Yes, Doom 3 will run on high settings.

Yes and no, it ran fine (30-60fps) untill I had to fight the middle boss where you had to kill the 2 things that stayed next to it and the end boss.

Dont buy your ram from Dell. It is too expensive. New Egg or Memory for less is a much better deal. No warranty issues as long as you reinstall the old ram when sending in for warranty work. Buy the 256mb min.

Good thing about buying ram from Dell is that it is under warranty and Dell cross ships. Newegg only has a limited period that you can return the ram if it becomes defective and then you have to deal with the manufacturer.
