Yes, but is it worth it for only one game? Here in Luxembourg, for PCs around 1000€, you never get more than a ATI 9200. You have to spend over 1500€ to find good cards on the config.

Quite hefty prices.

With an AthlonXP 2800+, a Radeon 9800pro and 768MB RAM, I'm still far below 1000 Euro in Germany.
(at least something that's more or less cheap in Germany *g* )

got my rig (athlonxp3000/r9800p/512MB Ram) for approx. 660$..plus 10$ for the second voodoo2 to have SLI  Grin
..as you wont be playing doom3 on that machine,you can check on doom legacy to play something on your voodoo1 while you try to get the money for a new machine..(remember that you must use Doom Legacy v1.32 beta 4 if you have a voodoo card,glide goesnt work in the newer versions..)

Yes prices here are quite high, but that's okay.

Anyway, why bother playing new crappy games when you can play nice old smooth sexy crispy games on a Voodoo?

Pretty minimum Spec for a 2005 style computer, and the GeForce 5200 won't run Doom3 very fast; the AthlonXP 1900+ isn't "too" bad for a start, although not stellar either.

I reckon this is a 2nd hand machine ?

The Video Card might have to be replaced with a more potent one (e.g. ATI Radeon 9800pro class) in the near future.

Anyway, if it's a really cheap buy, you could take it and upgrade the weakest components later.
If it's a "new" Retail system, something is terribly wrong, GeForce 5200 is a very low end el-cheapo solution, the XP1900+ is also quite old although still usable.

Try to get hands on something like :

AthlonXP 2500+ (higher is recommended)
ATI Radeon 9800pro
