What kinda of video card do you have, all the CPU power and ram in the world is not going to help without a good video card.
Firefox: no, its not the end all solution, it has its own issues and in time it will be just as insecure as IE, when its hit Firefox 6, if it makes it that far. Oh, and AOL pays for it, incase you didn't know.

Microsoft & Windows: If you hate it so much, move to linux, or bsd, or anything else, stop complaning and move on.
Good starting places: Gentoo Novell SUSE Fedora Core Apple

Isnt that the motherboard's chipset??

Doom 3 is by far the most demanding PC game on the market in terms of graphics. I wouldnt suggest less than a 6600GT for that game. You will still not be able to play the game with ultra high settings, everything to max and high resolution without some lagg in graphics rendering. The more you pay the better your games will play.

If you plan to buy a video card, how much would you be willing to pay?

dont worry about having to pay 6,000$US for one lol (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/cont...ist&sku=372456)

Some of the best high end cards go up to 800$, but 400$ you can get a great one, depending where you buy

The 6600GT is less than 400$US. You can get it around 200$US. The 6800 Ultra can be bought for 400$US to 500$US.

Oh did i forget to mention that a Asus GeForce 6800 Ultra was the card that i said was 800$, check here but belma has the right US price (http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...209458&CatId=0)

But just to make shure, the prices i was talking about were in Canadian prices :o , so belma was right when he said that its 400-600$ us

Asus cards are overpriced in my opinion. You can get the same card for 200$ less from BFG. Same performance. http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...213732&CatId=0

It's like Sony for TVs you pay more but dont necessarily get better quality.
