PCI and Doom 3

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

Depends on your expectations. You'll never see a high level of performance
from that system, video-wise, because of the lack of an AGP slot - it just
was never intended as a gaming system - it's a budget system, which is
suited for things like office work and Internet browsing.

The ATI 9200 is a better card than that nVidia - just don't get the SE
version, which is more like the 5200 in performance.
