[QUOTE="surag198"]that just shows how much you dont know. XP had the basically same graphical architecture becuase the DX software were mostly updates and programmed into the existing core. The core for graphical performance was same in both XP and ME....however, in vista, its a totally new graphical interface programmed into Vista itself....this means that you cant just download new dx10(not just a gimmick to make you buy vista but rather needed to make significant improvements that can't be done if it were based on the original core). Thus, one cant really mod XP to match dx10. although dx9.5 should b coming out it wont be anywhere near dx10

Nah, that just shows you're a bit too gullible repeating what MS tells you. Vista has both directx 9 and directx 10 runtimes. How would that be possible if two different interfaces couldn't co-exist? How could OpenGL and direct3D co-exit in XP? Those are also completely different. it's just a matter of right drivers and libraries.
are you serious? do you have any idea how foolish you sound? I'm not gullible but you're misinformed. OpenGL and direct 3d may be different interfaces but their are based off the SAME basic PLATFORM. LOL, Vista's dx10 is integrated INTO THE MAIN OS. its a part of it. in fact the main reason vista was made WAS TO IMPROVE THE GRAPHICAL CORE INTERFACE FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT.....such as games and graphics intensive programs to compete with apple. it doesnt matter that vista has directx 9 runtimes. in fact, vista will soon be able to use a modified dx9 version but it will be slower and less effective than dx9 on xp pcs's...thats because its like a simulation. get your facts straight, then call me gullible.

however, I do recommend buyind dx10 if you plan on spending thousnd or more in buying a new pc. it will last you several years ahead. Or, and i think this is better, buy vista, and upgrade only your card to dx10 and dont bother to do this until say end of this year when you will actually start seeing games using dx10
