I was just reading some comments from another thread and the MS team member annouced that DX10 will not work with AGP cards, and there are no plans to do so. While most of us will be getting PCIexpress cards anyway, this again will force users to upgrade if they want to use DX10, and therefore most new products that Vista will use. Will Im not into the conspiracy thing, this just has a lousy smell to it. So, if you plan on getting Vista and running DX10 for FSX, plan on getting a new motherboard and graphics card, and memory, and.....oh well, just buy the whole damn computer while you at it! Todd

That is interesting.... I dont know whether to believe it or not. But you wont need a whole new computer for Vista. As long as it has somewhat recent technology in it you will be fine, though 2 gigs of ram would probably help....
