sry to double post, but karlmueller. There is an alternative. I had very, VERY crappy framerates at first on my ati 9700 aiw (high@1024x768). But now, it runs very, VERY nicely. Hopefully you have alot of ram. I only have 512, and the game runs good. Higher would only mean better.

Anyways, just go into the base folder, and open the file "doomconfig.cfg" Find this line here:
seta image_cacheMegs "##" (mine was 20, some others were 32)
then set it to something that you can spare in memory, mine is now:
seta image_cacheMegs "128"
That should give dramatic speedups. Someone with a gig of ram could probably set it to 512. Anyways, people have reported as much as a 35f increase (one had 25, edited and got nearly 60).
