its just some modified files to act as if its dx 10 but in al reality its just dx9....if you play on vista with the actual dx10 you'll see a difference.....honestly i miss my windows but it seems like they fixed some vista issues i always hated so i guess it wouldnt be too bad.....still wish i can have my xp

give vista a few weeks to self optimize, then it will be blazing fast

also, how much ram do you have? if its 2gb or less i would suggest upgrading to have at least 3gb

That Alky DX10 doesn't work for shit, I've tried like 3 games with it, and none worked, it ****s up other games too, I recommend you uninstall it.

Get the cartridge, 2 gb is enough for a pretty long time

well if hes going to be doing gaming on vista, maximum pc recommends at least 4gb if your running the ultimate edition, 3gb on home premium, and 2gb on basic

I recently upgraded to Vista as well. I was really disappointed at first...I fear change.


However, once I've disabled everything...and got it all customized up right - I like it. I can't say I prefer it to XP...but I won't say its worse than XP.

Much how they strip down XP installation to the bare bones to make it optimized, there are ways to strip Vista installation down to the bare bones.

Be wary of the stuff it's going to delete. If you know what you're doing you culd always do this manually.

When it comes to system requirements for programs, often there is a separate system requirements for Vista with usually about 20-40% more RAM required because of how much RAM vista uses.
For Crysis, XP's minimum is 512MB, on Vista the minimum is 768MB.

No you can't. DX10 requires the correct chip functions on the card to work. If you do not have those functions, you do not get DX10, piriod.
It's the same as trying to add RAM via software. It can't be done. It's a physical component on the system itself and no amount of software can change that.
Though I'm sure if you were skilled enough you could make some other set of graphic function libraries which is comparable to DX10 with current hardware.
But that is not DX10.

It's not true DX10. That project never finished, only got about halfway through, so you have half of DX10, if you have a DX10 card.


Thing is, DX10 doesn't give you that much performance increase. It was cool, but it was wayyyyyy over-hyped. The cool things with it is much better water visuals and lighting. Thats about it. There are other improvments, but nothing to cream your pants over.
If you get like a $3000 custom build system, DX10 should be considered. But a system below that, you'd get much better preformance improvments by approching it from other sections.
