How's XP with Core2Duo and 8800?

[eLus1ve]

How's XP working with C2D and 8800 series? Am I pretty much obligated to upgrade to Vista for the new generation hardware to work at its full potential?

 

[Hobo13]

No. Not yet at least. There is nothing to my knowledge that only maxes out your equipment in Vista and not XP. The only exception being DirectX 10 games. And there aren't that many of them yet.

 

[eLus1ve]

There isn't a DX10 driver availible for XP?

 

[0ptional]

direct X 10 is vista only.

The new hardware is built to direct x 10 spec, and that still makes it the fastest hardware available for direct X 9 too.

there is a direct x 10 port for xp though its ment to be not that good, google it .

The project is not well backed, and it just makes me think of the kids in high school who said they made their own video game based on the hl engine and some random bullshit that wasn't true...

Age is just kind of a deterrent for me of professional quality products/service... get where I'm coming from?

I mean... I'm 19... but not every 19 year-old is like me but whatever...
