I guess it's good for ATI that Doom 3 turned out to be such a
disappointment! Half Life 2 is amazing (I've played the leaked pre-alpha so
I'm not guessing) and will be around long after everyone has lost interest
in Doom 3...

Since the recommended spec is a 2ghz CPU and Geforce 4 why not
benchmark with that spec PC - why are all reviews and benchmark
done with high end systems ?

My sentiments exactly! I still get max fps in DOOM 3 12x10 HQ without
AA or AF. I bought an ATI because as one said, HL2 and mods will be
around long after people have forgotten about DOOM 3. I can't wait for
HL2 and CS: Source, GR2, etc. This card kicks ass and is very
overclockable.
