If you're excited for the release of THQ's Warhammer 40K: Dawn of War 2 later this year then you may want to take a look at this.

Really looking forward to this. Nice to know I'll be able to run it.

Can't wait.

Also looking forward to that brawler thing.

Either that or, like several other engines, scales very well. Not every game needs to be a Crysis-level system killer.

I'm really looking forward to this, too. Hope they put proper widescreen support in this time, though.

Dame, does that mean my 600Mhz Athlon isn't going to be upto the job!!

Sounds good - can't wait to get some nid on nid action in there...

I have a feeling that the SM3 req is going to catch a few people out.

when I say "people" i mean "people who by a £300 machine without knowing whats inside it"

is that a typo for the original Dawn of War??

man... that is low....

Thats practically my almost 3 year old system (I added some more memory and more hdd space since, and have been meaning to upgrade the graphics card for 18 months or so but can never quite decide on one)

Good to see a game that more people can run on the recommended specs. Game play is better in my opinion than super advanced graphics. I do own the first Dawn of War, and enjoyed what time I did play.
