So, who runs Doom 3 on ultra-high?

Some Customers of mine dropped off their Machines because they can't run Doom 3 without lag or have issues with Frame-rates and poor performance.
Anything less than a P4 2.8 or Athlon XP 2800 i tell them to upgrade the Motherboard and Videocard.
Doom 3 seems to run really nice on the new PCI-Express Videocards.
How about your Experience?
Let me know, how good the Game runs.

(for comparison, one of my clients pulls 18000+ points on 3DMark 2003 and still can't get Doom 3 to run perfect)

Let's hear about your gripes.

I hate people discussing software in a hardware forum,

Just got it, and am running it on an Athlon XP1700 with a nVidia FX5200 128 Mb card. 512 Mb memory.

just standard default set up at the moment.

I just upgraded a Pentium 2.6 with a Gforce 440 (64 megs) and 512 megs of ram.
This thing would barely run Doom3 on the minimum settings, at 640X480.

I added a gig of DDR PC 4000 and a ATI 9800 Pro, ( i would have gone with the XT, but money was the problem)and the Game runs somewhat smooth on "high" (1024X768),a little sluggish at "ultra-high".

I tested the machine with 3DMark 2003:

Before upgrade: 98 Points
After Upgrade : 5560 Points

Of course, i did the regular Tune-up like cleaning Hard drives, defragging, moving Page-file, and so on.
