Supreme Commander is a non-standard RTS.
The game is "roughly" multithreaded, so people with up to 4 processors will benefit (physics, graphics, AI, miscellaneous functions). It's fully 3D such that you can move the camera around. The thing has been in beta since October (which means it's going to be an actual retail release, rather than the usual beta release). It's also a DirectX10 game, although it's fully playable under DX9.
If you liked any of the Command and Conquer games, even if you got burned out of them, take a close look at SC. You might unburn enough to give it a try. There's some other games in that list that I'm interested in, but SC is the only one I will definitely be bagging when it's released.
