PCIE or AGP, I'd go Nvidia. You mentioned Doom3, I have that and run it on the x300SE card, it only runs well at lower rez. Above 800X600, it doesn't run too well, and I have a 3.2G p4 w/2 G of 533mhz ddr2 RAM & 2 160G SATA drives. The video is the bottleneck. Also, you should know for Doom3 that the makers are in cahoots with Nvidia, the Nvidia cards are optimized to run that game better than the ATI cards, all the reviews show this in like card comparisons. You can get a 6600GT pcie or agp card for under $150 (I second the rec. of Newegg...).
