I'm currently the proud owner of a five year old laptop that is completely useless but have just purchased a new desktop which should be arriving soon. I'd really like to get the Dawn of War game for it as it looks awesome and I used to have massive 40K armies when I was younger.

Basically though i'm used to playing on consoles and just buying a game and it works so I just want to know if my new graphics card will be good enough and if it'll run the game very well. It's the Radeon 128MB X300SE which i've tried to research into but haven't had much luck figuring out comparisons i've done between it and the 8500 that's recommended. If anyone could tell me how well the game will run on this card i'd be grateful... I think it meets minimum spec... but again i'm not totally sure.

Cheers.

that should run the game on pretty much full settings - just make sure you update all your drivers before you start. (new PC doesnt necessarily mean the latest drivers have been installed).
