Will it be much of a difference if I stayed with XP with a new DX 10 video
card; or should I upgrade to Vista? I have a P4 630 with HT 3.0 MHz CPU on
an Asus P5GD2-X Motherboard with 4GB of DDR2-PC800 memory.

Thank you,
David

DX-10 AFAIK is being developed for XP but is still in the alpha stage...
so check back later in the year.

As to Vista...well, let's just say there are still a few bugs left.

For now, I'd stay with XP and see how DX-10 shapes up in the future
 
Maybe the label said "DIRECT X 10 capability",but no such software is on
the card,& since XP doesnt run with Direct X 10,you'll have no problems with
the card.

Do know where you got the info that DX 10 will be ported back to XP.
Last I heard, MS was not making DX 10 for XP. DX 10 is for Vista only
(???)

Well...there is a possibility of DX-10 in the future:

Of course, since my gaming has not gone beyond the win3x version of Tetris
I'll probably not be needing to try DX-10 <G>

Not really running DX-10 but converting the "game" to be able run
without DX-10, see excerpt.

The project plans to do this by building a converter that can take in a
DX10 game executable and spit out a modified version that can be run on
a (non-Vista) target OS.
