Hi everyone, I just registered today. This looks like a very nice website. Anyway, I have a question regarding a new computer. I am mainly looking for a nice computer for gaming purposes (Vietcong and Doom 3 in particular). I have been seriously considering an AMD Athlon XP 2800+ equipped 512mb RAM (333mhz). Do you guys think this computer would be acceptable for games such as Doom 3? How does the Athlon compare to a P4 2.6ghz?

Thank you in advance for your help,
-Zach Lindsey
