what is DX10, and why is it important? I'm running DirectX 9 (i think) on my XP, and have no idea what is on my Windows 98 machine (except that it takes about 10 mins to boot!!). I also have a new-ish laptop with Vista, and have been happy with the GUI and performance, but don't see any mention of DX10.
