When can I find it? Outside from getting Vista SP1? My computer won't let me get SP1...
Is there a download page for DX10? I can't seem to locate it on Microsoft's site.

Comes with Vista by default, you already have it if you are using vista.

Hmph. I don't notice a difference from DX9... Things still slow as crap.

DX10 isn't necessarily faster, it just has more graphical features.

Like what? Seriously, I saw no difference in the performance of any of my games between XP and Vista.

You will only see a difference if the game supports DX10. Crysis does IIRC, latest Halo for PC too.

Yeah, Crysis is probably the best example thus far.

Sorry, Crysis is a pure DX9 game. A little configuration file tweaking and all its fancy graphics are available to XP/DX9 users.

You'll enjoy Halo 2 PC, it really does look considerably better than the XBox version.
