I remember playing Doom 3 on my pc at the time, and it was like 20 fps, maybe. I also remember the marketing on PC parts at the time having stickers like "Runs Doom 3" on them.

When it came out on Xbox, one of my friends marveled at it and how good it looked on console, but was annoyed at all the pc comparisons a second friend and I were making.

I was so lucky. I didn’t think I would be able to play it, still rocking a Pentium 3 700 mhz pre built pc with a ATI Rage 128 Pro. Then suddenly, just a few days before the release, my dad comes with a new pc: Pentium 4 3000 mhz, GeForce FX 5600 GT and a brand new 19 inch CRT Ilyama monitor. It played the shit out of Doom 3. Those were the days hehe.
