I'm not sure you need that fast of a processor. I would go with like 2.8 ghz and then raise the ram to like 1 gig. But for the price its pretty good.

www.magicmicro.com is a great store. I would check it out sometime.

I agree,,, Up the Ram....

[Iron_Cross]

Yeah, just up the ram, and down the proc. But the video card is sweet, I'm jealous now

[PimpinMidget]

Is Magic Micro really Legit, and if they are what are the shipping times? I custom made one and love the price for waht you get (9800XT 256mb Video Card) For what i'm paying for a pro..I LIKE!

to pay Doom 3 on Ultra Quality, a 512MB vid card is recommended....which I hope you realized that it doesnt exist. If your 9800 pro is 256MB, you should be able to run on High ok. If it is just 128MB, you may be down to Medium....Doom 3 is very demanding.

dont think about high unless 1gb of ram and 256mb gfx card
