No very possible, and old news. I reported this to the site a month or two back. This project was originally started by the Alky Project. And theres another thread just like this already in circulation...

Heres the other thread discussing the same thing

And heres a quote from the Alky Project page...

Quote:
Finally making use of this blog I created almost a year ago. What a busy year it's turned out to be, from the inception of the Alky Project to the creation of Falling Leaf Systems and the Sapling Program.

As a fitting start to this blog, I'm proud to release a preview of our Alky compatibility libraries for Microsoft DirectX 10 enabled games. These libraries allow the use of DirectX 10 games on platforms other than Windows Vista, and increase hardware compatibility even on Vista, by compiling Geometry Shaders down to native machine code for execution where hardware isn't capable of running it. No longer will you have to upgrade your OS and video card(s) to play the latest games.

The current preview allows you to run a number of examples from the Microsoft DirectX SDK on Windows XP. They're not the greatest thing since sliced bread, but we want to whet your appetite. We hope to release builds in the coming months progressing from demos to fully functional games. We also plan to post on this blog from time to time with screenshots and videos of what's to come.

The preview build is available here. Inside this zip is a README.TXT file with complete instructions on where to install the files (don't worry, we'll have an installer in the near future) and how to get and run the examples from the SDK.

We at Falling Leaf welcome your feedback, and we're committed to giving you the best high-end gaming experience possible, regardless of OS.

Enjoy,
- Cody Brocious
Lead Alky Engineer

Then you would need a DX10 compatable card.... And I have AGP (sucks), anything you guys have seen about a DX10 AGP compatable gfx card?

I highly doubt it. AGP is slightly outdated now, and DX10 is brand new. The only cards I know of are the 8800 series and ATI's new card, the 2900 or something like that.

Basically, if you want DirectX 10 support you are going to need a motherboard that supports pci-express.

Im not really worried about dx10 yet, all I would really want it for is crysis, and crysis supports dx9c too, so I think I'll be allright. All I need is a new gfx card.... What do you guys think about this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814241049

I think I might buy this one, but since it runs really hot I might get an after market cooler for it.
