The fact is it can cost you as much for a high end graphics board as it would for a dedicated game player. The added cost for upgrading ram, hard drive and other hardware to run DX10 with Vista drives the cost of doing it, over the top and out of the area of common sense. Apparently Vista has already been hacked and you can get DX10 to run on XP. I'm still trying to figure out why Vista still has no "extras" that MS was talking about before it was made available. I still have no idea what "extras" they were talking about and it's near on a year since they started retailing it. Anyone got any answers about the "extras" they were talking about ? MS ?
