Nice, that will definitely do it

Nvidia's 460M can run anything, plus it is known for its low temps and relatively low power usage.

Great choice.

No, you wont run it at low settings. I recon either on high, or at least medium-high.

"We were inhuman beings....butchers on a field of corpses....corrupt and depraved....only a sum of viscera, blood, and bone - Creatures without soul."

I prefer both at the same time

You should run it at medium settings first, because there is no way that you wont be able to run it smoothly at this setting.

I am telling you, even on high, it might be really smooth.

"We were inhuman beings....butchers on a field of corpses....corrupt and depraved....only a sum of viscera, blood, and bone - Creatures without soul."

Yes, I am sure. Even a freaking 8800 GT 512 can play the game at max details and 1920x1200 resolution. Your 460M should be able to handle max details, and 1680x945. Please note, that the 460M is far superior to the 8800. I have yet to find a laptop benchmark for Dawn of War II to prove it, though.

As you can understand, laptops arent exactly the benchmarking standards for gaming, plus Dawn of War II is considered such a 'light' game, these days, so not many sites are benchmarking with that game.

Your old HP? Specs?

P.S. The game has a lot of settings that can be set to "Ultra", I hope you dont plan on setting them on this option.

"We were inhuman beings....butchers on a field of corpses....corrupt and depraved....only a sum of viscera, blood, and bone - Creatures without soul."

Yeah, figured. The ATI HD 3200 series is good for movie playback, uhm....browsing the internet, and....yeah, thats about it, lol

Here's what you gotta do: When you launch the game with your new laptop, set everything to High, and set resolution to the max that your monitor supports (1680x945). Turn Antialiasing to Off. Then run a performance test, and see whats what. If its not running smoothly, then you can try reducing some of the settings to medium. The texture detail option has the most impact on performance, as well as visual quality.

A video for the regiment I'd want to join in the British Army. Enjoy (if it works).

What do you want them to say?

"Well... It's one of few careers where you can get your legs blown of in an IED, but you get to go on holidays to weird and wonderful places, like Afghanistan and the Falklands when that kicks off, where you can be killed properly by conventional warfare. All in all, possibly the job with the worst "fatality rate to pay" ratio, but we know you all want to be soldiers really."

That would go well

To be fair I agree with you that these promotional videos are pretty pointless. After all, most people will already know whether they want to join the army, and what Regiment they want to join.

"Always up for it" is open for misinterpretation...

Because we use the good old regiment system, there's always a rivalry between regiments doing a similar job. Both the Queen's Royal Lancers and the 9th/12th Royal Lancers claim to be the best formation reconnaissance regiment in the Army.

Personally I'd join the 9th/12th Royal Lancers because they're my local armour regiment. My other local regiment is the Royal Anglian Regiment, though by local I mean its catchment area spans most of South-East England.

TBH, trying to get into the Coldstream Guards would be tempting as well, seeing as they are a) a guards regiment, and b ) My CCF is affiliated with them, so they turn up for the AGI each year, and give us loads of kit all year round. It helps that one of the two leaders of the CCF used to be the highest-ranked non-Officer in the Coldstream Guards.

You know what's worrying for me though? Both the Coldstream Guards and the 9th/12th Royal Lancers have an intake of about 5 officers per year (come to think of it I think the Coldstream Guards take even fewer)... Just going to hope that I'm one of the smartest and best for Officer Selection then.

"They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, and they're behind us. They can't get away this time!"

Depends on the regiment. I mean, the Rifles have about five regular battalions and two TA battalions, which means there's about 4000 guys in it.

Meanwhile, Guards and Formation Reconaissance regiments are always quite small, usually consisting of a single battalion. This is because guards refuse to amalgamate and FR regiments don't need to be too big, as they are scouts and "first-strikers" if you get what I mean.

More reasons for the small intake include the fact that both FR and Guards regiments are considered elite (though not as elite as the Royal Marines or Paras). 9th/12th Lancers are especially respected as they are the eyes and ears for the 7th Armoured Brigade, known more commonly as the Desert Rats (the guys who handed Rommel's arse to him on a plate in Africa).

"They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, and they're behind us. They can't get away this time!"

Reported.

Good day sir.

LOL! Just Kidding!

More ES Posthumus!!! This is all taken off of God's IPod by the way.

It's more than that. It's what feels right, in a way. Though I could find myself in the Guards or the Marines or the Paras regardless of whether I choose them as one of my three choices. They are known to take measures to ensure that officer candidates that catch their eye are informed of the benefits of joining the "suicidal nutter brigade" (Marines and Paras) over the regiments they put on their application form.

Basically, if you're approached by an elite regiment, you're expected to say yes. Not that I'm saying that I'm expecting to be the best of the best, but I am on my way to 10 A*s at GCSE and am hoping to get 4 A*s at A-Level and move on to Oxford University before I try out for Sandhurst. If I attend Officer Training Corps at University, then that'll give me at least 7 years of cadet training and put in the top few percent of Britain for education. I think that'll boost my chances of getting into the regiment of my choice. Elitist snobbery all the way!

Did you know that the most promising officers leave the army before they are promoted to Captain? That's because there are so many better payed jobs out there...

Or you could wait until you're a Colonel and earn £80,000 a year, though that's a lot of waiting.

Actually, I can see why they leave...

"They're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, and they're behind us. They can't get away this time!"

This place refuses to die huh? Yes! after the recent death of my RP on a different forum i have moved back here for memories sake.

no matter how hard you try i shall never disappear for ever...

Now to drag my friends here...

Yes. Do you have a problem with that?

RP = Role Playing?

Heh, at least you admit it openly Thats a good step.

Btw, if you are interested in Role Playing, why dont you role-play as my B!+ch, and I'll be your Pimp

Your friends are welcome, but now that we know they are your "friends", it wont be so fun, would it?

Is that a joke? Hmm...I dont see it, not quite

Ah, I see Altaux has a better sense of humor than me Ah well.
