MacPro Xeon 2.66GHz Quad-Core 3GB RAM/Radeon HD 4870/OS X 10.6 running at max resolution of my monitor with all options on: 1680x1050-runs almost TOO FAST!
Way better than what I had to do with the cfg file to get it to run on my old MDD G4 1GHz Radeon 9800 Pro!

Doom3 really needs a G5 Mac and nothing less.. sorry but that's progress and Mac Doom3 will never run quite as well as it should because it's a PORT of another platforms code. So there's always some performance lost bcos it's a PORT. Oh and btw - unpacking the pk4 isn't a good idea. There's no speed improvement and it'll all just take up loads of hdd space! Here's a good link for speed improvements: http://ucguides.savagehelp.com/Doom3/FPSVisuals.htm
For console: look inside the base folder which is inside Doom3 which is inside Applications Support. Create a text file called "autoexec.cfg" and have this inside it:
com_allowConsole "1"
Want more mods for doom3 to extend it's life. google AppleCrypt ;)
Overall, doom3 is demanding but worth it. Great gfx and sfx but the first few levels are pretty samey and dull. It gets better later on and i love the Delta levels, there's some great action here. Scary! Buy it

Do they actually want people to be able to buy and run this game?
Mac owners have always hung onto their machines and (like me), upgrade them until they absolutely die.
I've upgraded my processor (Powerlogix 1.4 GHZ Dual), got a pretty good video card (ATI 9000), got lots of RAM (1.5 GB), and this game is STILL a little jerky. No, of course I didn't do the upgrades specifically to run this game, but this is a pretty fast machine!
Yea, graphics are cool, but making a game that will run on the machines of your fan-base seems to make some sense to me.
Pretty disappointed in this.
On the other hand, it does have a good look, but I don't have an extra $3000 lying around to buy a G5!

(this may also work on other platforms but I have no way of testing it)
The following .pk4 files in the folder doom 3/base can be decompressed with stuffit expander which speeds up loading of levels and access of individual files during game-play. If an update comes out and you have uncompressed the .pk4 files, you will need to delete the Doom 3 folder and recopy it from the original installation disc, before you install the update or it wont be installed properly, then proceed to uncompressing the files again.
pak000.pk4 *
pak001.pk4 becomes dds
pak002.pk4 becomes models
pak003.pk4 becomes sound
pak004.pk4 becomes textures
pak005.pk4 becomes pak005.pk4 folder~^
pak006.pk4 ~*
pak007.pk4 becomes pak007.pk4 folder~^
game00.pk4 becomes game00.pk4 folder ^
game01.pk4 becomes game01.pk4 folder ^
game02.pk4 becomes game02.pk4 folder ^
game03.pk4 becomes game03.pk4 folder~^
~ 1.3 update file
* cannot be uncompressed
^ remove word folder
