1. is it true that windows xp can support up to directX 9 only?
2. since 8800gtx can support directX 10, can i still use this card if my OS has diectX9 installed only?
3. i have heard that the GF 8600 320MBwill be out soon... (middle of March or something), will it be more powerful than 88000gtx?

1. Microsoft is not going to release DirectX 10 for windows XP, that is correct.
2. Yes, you can still use if you only have directx 9. The games you play will however not be able to use any of the extra features of the Directx 10 standard.
3. No it will not. the 8600 is a mid range card (cheaper) while the 8800 is a high end card. The 8800 will be much faster.
