What about this alpha DirectX 10 for windows xp… http://www.technospot.net/blogs/download-directx-10-for-windows-xp-from-alky-project/
Does someone know more about it?
Vista has DX10 natively, cut out the middleman
The big idea about DX10 Red is that when programs are written with DX10 as the target there is a whole level of redundancy taken out of the picture. Programs do not need to keep asking Windows to get involved as much so there’s less overhead, less time wasted in operating system calls. Like Glide was for 3dfx, DX10 is ‘closer to the metal’
Latest drivers show a decent framerate bump

(Can’t recommend 3DMark Vantage it is pig-ugly)
Seconded 
DX10 in XP is at best emulation, and TBH IMO DX10 aint all that anyways
aint all that
For now yes. Thing is to be ahead of the loop. Bring it on. The loop
