Are you a hardcore gamer? Looking for DirectX 10 for Windows XP? What is the difference between DirectX 9 and DirectX 10? To be honest, it is hard to tell the difference because at the time of writing DirectX 10 for Windows XP is still in the alpha stage.
Cody Brocious the Alky Project leader released the alpha version to beta tester, and the verdict seems to be good. Here are some image samples for comparison between DirectX 9 and DirectX 10 on 3d rendering quality.
If you are a serious gamer, DirectX 10 is a must, most graphic cards support DirectX 10 and it is a shame that Windows XP user are not able to utilize this powerful feature because priority is given to the buggy and lagging Windows Vista, which defeats the purpose of having a stable and fast gaming machine in the first place.

Wauw – amazing difference!
I’m switching to Mac in a near future. Is DirectX10 available for Mac?
Hmm… last check, nobody code games for Mac, not to mention it took them so long to release a Windows XP version.
BootCamp?

Not so long ago my friends told me that Directx 10 will never be available for Win Xp, now look who’s right? ;)
@Jakey
Obviously they are, this will only change your existing dx9 dll’s to SAY that DX10 is installed, try any dx10 game, won’t work.
