Default Doom3 and prices

2 questions...

1) I gots me a P42.8ghz 512MB RAM rig. What upgrades would it take to
run Doom3 whenever it comes out?
2) What's the absolute cheapest you can get a Radeon9800 XT? I saw it
for 395 on ebay, but I'm wondering if you can go lower...

Minimum specs are apparently a 1Ghz CPU, 256MB RAM, GF1 or Radeon 7xxx
series card. To be able to run it stably with everything on, and at full
resolution is a more unknown matter. I should guess that you'll be able to
go full-whack with a 9800 XT on your system.

Sweetness. Thanks for the info.

*scoffs at the thought of how DOOM3 will play on the minimum setup*
