This is how I played Doom 3 and I fell off the chair a couple of times. It was an incredible experience.

Walked up on my step son playing with headphones on in the dark. He jumped.

What did you play it on? I think I had a modded Radeon 9550 that turned it into a 9600.

I can't remember, it was so long ago. I think I had a 9550 too. Had to run at 640x480 and turn specular and shadows off to get a decent frame rate, left bump mapping on no matter what because the game just looked like arse without it. I played through constantly turning specular and shadows on and off so I could alternate between gawking at the graphics and being able to actually play the game lol
