i compared the gpus sa www.gpureview.com..

3.2 ghz P4 800mhz fsb
intel 915gav
512 generic ram
sea40 gig hdd
samsung dvd-rom/cd-r combo drive
GMA 900 integrated gpu

[Mr. Fernandez]

im having doubts....because mu launch na ang DirectX 10 gpus next year.....january 2007

mas nindot man gyud tingali ang DX10 gpus....... for compliance sa windows vista

[Mabix]

[jintatsu]

mao sd.. pro msdaku na sd dw power kailangan sa dx10 gpus... mao ingon sa akng migo.. nka basa dw cya..

[fish]

dugay pa na mo-abot ang dx10 cards diri sa pinas uy... plus dili pa gyud siya backward compatible... meaning kung mopalit kag dx10 card... kinahanglan ka mag windows vista...

so pasabot ana... kung maghulat pa ka sa dx10 cards... dili ka malingaw sa mga games karon... daghan na kag ma-miss nga mga games...

"DX9 GPUs won´t however work with DX10 and D3D 10 games will have to integrate a D3D 9 rendering to support them"

Above is the part of what I have read from a very long elaboration about DX10. I believe DX10 will work with DX9 games, and of course the future DX10 games. Below is the graph of the difference of DX9 and DX 10.
