oh yes they incorporated support for 512mb video cards (i dont see how it can possibly fully support them as there arent any yet) but supposedly if/when you get a 512mb card it will detect the extra graphics memory and give you the option of using extra extra extra high settings and quality textures

Nvidia are introducing SLI architecture which allows TWO GPU's to be linked together in the same system running on the PCI Express bus, so you could have 512mb AND using TWO GPU's have a significant boost in graphics processing

Drool here: Nvidia SLI

HIGH setting needs 256mb Video RAM not 512mb! You can also unpack the 5 pakxxx.pk4 files to help texture loading between areas, but you need an extra 3GB HD space

extract them right where they are already, Doom 3/base
just need winrar, right click and select 'extract here'
obviously you'll need to delete, or move the pakxxx.pk4 files from the base directory or the game will just use them as normal

does it work? well the game still works and doesnt complain. theoretically it should make level loading quicker as the files are already extracted so it saves processor activity on extracting them as they're needed. however in practice i didnt notice much difference. perhaps only a few seconds.

one problem (i've heard this but not tried it myself) is that this doesnt work for multiplayer. you'll need to move the pakxxx.pk4 files back. this could be bogus info

Krondike, read this as it explains it a lot better:

It does mention Multiplayer may not work after doing this!

DUDES! OMFG!! Do not extract the files. They are only used when the game is LOADING, and if you do extract then your load times will be LONGER, but it will not fix your framerate or fix any stuttering!

Only the first load of each new level takes a while to start! But after that it only takes seconds to reload the level! About the same as when they were packed! Seems to give me a slight improvement.
I do think its faster all round though
