I have a Dell Pentium 3 with a Winfast A1808B 3D-video card with 128MB ram (on the video card). When I try to play Doom 3, the graphics move jerkily instead of smoothly. What would be the fix for this? Does my video card need to be upgraded? Thanks! >> Stay informed about: Doom 3 has jerky graphics

Pretty difficult to really answer that, because it depends what you want to do with the machine. If you want to play Doom3, I would recommend an Nvidia 6600GT or 6800GT (about $150 and $275 respectively). Personally, I'm going to upgrade in a month or so, and going with an Nvidia 7800GT for about $375, which will get me through the next couple of years worth of new game releases. It pays to get more than you think you need now, to avoid having to keep upgrading so often. -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

If you'll read my previous post again, it said "games like this"... which is referring to Doom3, not Doom. -- If you're not on the edge, you're taking up too much space.

Dan C is right. Your 9200 is too old and too slow. If you're on a budget, it runs fine at 1024x768 on a 9800 Pro but if you can afford it go for something more modern like an X700.
