Sure you've all read about the unofficial leaked demo; it can be downloaded (all 360mb of it) at

http://www.novaesleite.brturbo.com/Doug/Files/doom_iii.rar

you will need to read & print instructions at

http://users.adelphia.net/~nrgonline/doom3/

first though to get it to work properly, frame rate is terrible 17fps with XP2200 and Radeon 9700 ! it hasn't been optimized yet - hope the official demo comes along soon.

Enjoy !

Downloading now, just started. Doubt I'll be able to run it, but I might be able to burn the demo onto CD to save others the download.

I'm getting 40k/sec at the mo.

I did read somewhere that Id are trying to make the game playable on lower end graphics cards, even as low as GeForce 2. Could be absolute nonsense though, but still, be great if they did.

True - but then when you consider the graphics card you need to run Doom 3 costs more than the consoles, without the rest of the PC... :-)
