1GHz CPU
256MB RAM
GF1 or Radeon 7xxx series card

Recently we posted some Speculative DOOM III System Requirements that where then confirmed by id Software's John Carmack and now we have found an article posted over at Gamezoom.net that put's the Doom III System Requirements on Test! Here's a quick translation at the site in German

DOOM III alpha is being run on 7 PC with different configurations this should give you a good comparison with the finally version of Doom III as this will be optimised for most hardware.
