    Yes, there is word. I think this should answer your question more thoroughly.

    Right now I don't care what platform it comes out on. I'll still get to play it on August 5!! Even if it is my brother's PC.

    To give us Mac maniacs an idea of how fast our Macs should be to run Doom 3 with minimal pain here are the suggested PeeCee specs

    Low-End:
    1.5GhzP4 or equivalent
    512MB Ram
    Geforce4 Ti 4800 or Radeon 9500

    Mid-Range:
    2.4GhzP4 or equivalent
    1GB RAM
    Geforce5950 or Radeon 9800 Pro/XT

    High_End:
    3.4GhzP4 or AMD equivalent
    2GB RAM
    GeForce 6800 Ultra or Radeon X800 XT PE.

    As per Adel's link I'm guessing it'll run on at least a '02 Quicksilver. I may opt to upgrade my PeeCees to play it as well.

    According to the article it should run adequately on a 1.5 - 2.0Ghz PC. I think that effectively takes my humble Quicksilver out of the running this early.

    Like Melissa, I think I'll have to turn to the Dark Side for this...

    I'll upgrade my computer as soon as Doom 3 comes out since that will be the new gaming engine for quite a while. So I'll wait before upgrading.
