Doom 3 minimum PC requirements announced

[hot_pastrami]

For all those wondering if your system will stack up, insiders have revealed the minimum system specs needed to play this little beauty:

• A 1.5-gigahertz Intel Pentium 4 chip or AMD Athlon 1500.
• 384 megabytes of memory.
• Two gigabytes of hard drive space.
• An nVidia GeForce 3 graphics card or better; or an ATI Technologies 8500 or better.

Yowza. Luckily my last upgrade put me over this mark. Barely. And in case the one gamer in the world who hasn't already heard about Doom 3's release date is reading... it ships August 4th. Here's hoping id Software kicks our asses again; Doom 3 is the first game I've been excited about for a while now (outside of the false announcement of the Half-Life 2 release date).
