Who would suspect DX10 would be made available for WinXP? Not to mention nvidia is a strong supporter of DX10 to XP. It would also be an admission of the utter failure that is Vista. |

Me three.Except I can't get Sandra or 3dmark '06 to run.
Got a legit copy of Vista premium sitting here unopened. wrote in message .. . "Cessna 310" wrote in message news At this point, there's no reason for me to upgrade to Vista. Nothing in XP is broken. That seems to be the general consensus. Hell, I'm still on Win2K and everything runs great (and no activation bs to put up with). |

On the subject of AGP, I would not be the slightest bit surprised if nVidia offered the 8600GT or GTS in an AGP format. Not difficult for them - just mating their PCIe-AGP bridge chip with the GPU.

Possibly eventually. But it would be a while...

They're saying that running different operating systems will be like running different programs in the past. Of course that all goes to hell when some asshole runs HIS operating system on your computer without telling you. Billy Gates of all people is so worried about that he's saying only the most expensive versions of Vista should legally run virtualization software. I suppose he thinks that's going to solve the problem of the "super duper root kits" he's enabled in his new world order. VISTA what a pretty pretty name. I love that PACIFICA bull**** too. bite me. |

That's an interesting accomplishment, if only for its academic value. You
still need DX10-capable nVidia XP drivers, of course. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

DX10 in XP
* John Lewis:
Yes. Someone has already hacked the preview version of what ??? Dx10... not likely... URL please. Do not believe everything you read. There is someone working on a "DX10 for Windowsxp". However, what most people here just don't realize is that this is just a wrapper that transfers DX10 calls into DX9 calls. It's an emulation, nothing more, and probably nothing someone will play future DX10 games on. And it still doesn't change the fact that a "real" DX10 for Windowsxp simply isn't possible without replacing most of XP's core components because unlike what most people don't believe Vista is *very* different from XP under the hood and thus just installing DX10 on XP is not possible at all.
