DirectX 10
I plan to buy new AGP video (ATI or Nvidia), but I looked on the video card's Spec, it will be using DirectX 10. My OS right now is Windows XP Pro SP 2 and DirectX 9c. Do you guys think DirectX 10 compatible with Win XP pro SP2? I heard ATI 3850 will use DirectX 10 not DirectX 9.
My PC's Spec: Asus A8V AMD 4400+ 2.2 Ghz (overclocked to 2.4 Ghz) 4 x 512 MB PC3500 RAM DDR BFG 7800 GS OC 256 MB DDR3 (I overclocked to 490 Mhz) Recently, I play BF2, BF2142, CS, FS2004, FSX, GP4, F4:Allied Force, GunShip and The Sims 2 (The last game I mentioned was my wife's game) Thanks |

The only way you will be able to take advantage of DX10 is to get Vista. DX10 isn't supported under XP.

Thanks man for the reply. I was thinking to get Vista, but I want to keep my current system. I will buy video which is compatible with DirectX 9.

DX10 vid cards work just fine in XP, and are typically faster than their DX9 counterparts.

A DX 10 card is *capable* of using *ANY* DX.
