If you are running vista ...no you do not have dx10 you have dx9(r) or somthing like that.....or so ive heard

WHo told you that? Vista is built on DX10. Here is the DXDiag from my machine I am on right now - shows DX10:



You can kind of see the transparency in the bar on top!

Incase anybody cares, it works OK on a 2500+, but it is still a bit slow. This is a test machine here. I also have it loaded on a Ferrari 5000 laptop, and another Acer 4400 (which is at home right now) with an ML-30 AMD XP64 mobile + ATI x700. This garbage Athlon 2500 scores better than the Acer does though! I think because the graphics card has 128 MB in this machine is why. The Acer only has 64 MB for it's x700.
