I will say G4Techtv is the worst thing to happen to Techtv and G4 is probably the worst thing to happen to man-kind. As far as all this ram, proc, video card crap, why are you doubting a man who's taken computer science (aka kevin). Sure he dropped out but that doesn't mean he didn't take the classes. I myself have a degree in that field and with regard to most gamers in the middle-computing power, middle-cost class an upgrade in processor is usually better than in video card. Why you ask, because doom 3 is a processor and video card intensive game. The minimum requirements of 1.5Ghz processor tell you this right on the box. Sure you need a good video card too but even if you spend $500 on the latest greatest card it can't perform without a processor and bus capable of feeding it. If you have near 3ghz processor then upgrade in video card will do wonders but if you have around a 1.5 ghz processor and buy an expensive ass video card your not going to see the performance you paid for and would have gotten better performance for cheaper with a processor upgrade.
