    I got this off of tigerdirect.ca

    eMachines AMD Athlon XP 3200+ / 1024MB DDR 333 pc2700 / 160GB HDD / DVD+/-RW / Diamond Stealth S90 GeForce FX 5200 Video Card / 128MB / AGP 8X / TV Out & DVI/Windows XP Home
    I think it should do the trick for my doom 3 needs.

    Hey I'm just wondering I'm also thinking about maybe going with a 2.6 ghz emachine but there all integrated boards so If it has 2 available PCI slots would I be able to put a good PCI video card and use that with the system instead of the shitty one already with the motherboard?.

      they are slower than AGP
      if you are doing this for doom3, i would just buy a new main board.

      I am not sure but i will assume doom3 needs an AGP based card

      some games run like shit on a PCI card vs the same card AGP. example is C&C generals. i used a geforec 2 MX-400 PCI card in my dads computer, and it ran like shit. i then added the same card, the AGP version. it was a big improvment

      That machine will run DOOM 3 very well, as I'm sure you've wondered.

      why not get PC 2700 RAM?
      i dont think there is any major price difference. you might be able to get the DDR 400.

      sounds good, will be a good doom3 system

      My parents divorced a few years back and it didn't change anything around me. They're still good friends and help each other out.

      Yeah, my parents split up when I was in 10th grade then divorced when I was in 11th grade. Ironicaly, they split up on their 25th anniversary and divorced on their 26th, purely by chance.

      I didn't really feel much of a loss, especialy since my dad just moved a couple miles down the road. It was worse when his company moved him to California. Now he's living down there, horribly depressed. I think he had a nervous breakdown over Xmas and is contemplating suicide. :(
