And the thing I dislike the most is that the game scared the shit out of me!
This could be the first time I play doom, well I tried before, but never got into it coz I'm not interest in any monster games at all. Also I just finished Far Cry by 2 nights, comparing with doom, maybe all of the 3d games out there, it is amazing, impressive. well, for doom, its just my own opinion, don't know why it is so popular.

Something is serisously wrong then with your PC. By the specs you posted, your is about a 1/3rd better than mine, but I can play the game even at 1024x768, and I have an ATI card also.
Theres a lot of reasons its popular. First of all, its Doom, and its by ID Software. That automatically makes it popular, no matter if its the greatest thing ever. Aside from that the graphics are excellent, it has good atmosphere, and it
feels like the original Doom. Gamers for the mostpart are a nostalgic bunch.
Everyone will have different tastes for games. Doom 3 is the best FPS I've seen since Half-Life, but thats my opinion. Max Payne 2 and Call of Duty were both good, but they were shamefully short. Painkiller was a rip-off of Serious Sam's gameplay. And I disliked that gameplay. Clive Barker's Undying was probably the second best since Half-Life in my opinion.
Theres a lot of other FPS games out in that time frame that I didn't mention, but nothing I liked. Far Cry didn't impress me much and I got tired of the game five minutes into the demo. You can't please everyone with a single game, no matter how good it seems to the majority.
