Actually a GF4 Ti would probably be fine. A Geforce 4 *MX* on the other hand, would not.

"As of this afternoon we were playing DOOM 3 on a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 box with a GeForce 4 MX440 video card and having a surprisingly good gaming experience. Even a subtle jump to an AMD 2500+ with a GeForce 3 video card that is two years old will deliver a solid gaming experience that will let you enjoy the game the way id Software designed it to be."

EDIT: and right now if you want a graphics card new for $200 or so, the ATI 9800 Pro is the way to go.

Note: the Pro, NOT the SE, NOT, the standard. Video card naming conventions are begining to piss me off, but in this case the Pro gives you a lot more performance for the price than most cards.
