using xp, a dx10 card is just a normal dx9 card.

DX10 only ships with vista, you wont be able to use dx 10 on anything but vista.
But you can use a new card that supports dx10 on XP, it will work just fine. its fully backwards compatible.

As far as I know, direct X10 cards only work with the Vista OS.
