I am guessing 25 FPS, if your lucky? Anybody agree?
If you ask me bad enough to not have any fun :[ Try HL2, it scales better to lower-end PC's.

Yes you can play but only on low quality. I'm guessing you'd be getting around 30 FPS with that hardware configuration. Just upgrade your video card, it's well worth it.

I have to disagree, 25 FPS max. 30 is even still slow. Its not worth it.

You're RAM is low too.
I've played the game on a GeForce 4MX 440, it CRAWS.

Your graphics card is HORRIBLE. Your RAM is a little low but should be enough for doom3. Your processor is good enough.
and ummm, 30fps is agood framerate. I range at 40-60fps, with 1280*1024 resolution,

oh and, umm if you want to play multiplayer you can forget it! you will need to lower the settings even more, soo laggy. even with cable internet.
id suggest you play HL2 the negine is much better and can scale down to you.
