Seeking inspiration from existing RTS games

I'm looking to play some of the best RTS games, and see how they approach certain ideas - base building, resources, game progression. I've already played: Warcraft II Dune II (& 2000) C&C & Red Alert Total Annihilation Z These are all a little old now so what else should I look at? I don't have an amazing PC (I have an 800MHz GF2 one and a 1.6GHz GF6200 one) though. I'm thinking that maybe Warcraft III and C&C:Generals might be a good idea, but what other games actually added something other than 3D to the RTS formula?
