As someone who admittedly spends most of his time on a console, it takes something big to get me off the couch and back into the ol' office.
Apart from say Demigod, which looks fantastic, Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II is probably one of the only other upcoming PC games I'm genuinely excited for. Relic has finally dished out the juicy requirements for the game and thankfully, they are very doable.
Minimum Requirements:
- Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista SP1
- P4 3.2 GHz (single core) or any Dual Core processor
1 GB RAM (XP), 1.5 GB RAM (Vista)
- A 128MB Video Card (Shader Model 3) - Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT / ATI X1600, or equivalent
- 5.5 GB of Hard Drive space
Recommended:
- Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista SP1
- AMD Athlon 64×2 4400+ or any Intel Core 2 Duo
- 2 GB RAM (XP and Vista)
- A 256MB Video Card (Shader Model 3) - Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT / ATI X1900, or equivalent
- 5.5 GB of Hard Drive space
For those of you anticipating Dawn of War II as much as I am, make sure to check back at the Relic Web site on Thursday for an update on what's happening with the game's multiplayer beta.

Declare WAAAAAAUGH! on insane system requirements.
If I recall, both the first WH40K:DoW and CoH, ran very, very well on a whole spectrum of systems.
Probably the best optimised games outside of Valve's HL2/source engine games IMO.
I can't wait to start purging Xenos in the name of the Emperor.
Looking at a new rig for Feb, this is top of my list :D
I'm ready for this...the only RTS I have been waiting for...
just bought a new PC, got a Quadcore, dual SLI Nvidia 260GTX, 4 Gb of corsair RAM and 1 Tb of diskspace :-)
so I can hopefully run this at the highest quality-setting they've got :-)
I love you so much relic.
