    Sams club has a Presario R3399CL with some really cool specs.
    The main thing I am worried about is the video card.

    How good do you guys think this will be for demanding games like Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 ?

    Everything sounds great except your video card..


    You should be able to play Doom 3 on low/medium quality settings with no problem though.

    So for this price do you think I should be looking at an emachines M6811 or an Acer Ferrari instead?
