With directx 10 and vista just round the corner
Vista has been available for the past 14 months and DX10 for the same period. In fact, SP1 for Vista has also been released a few weeks ago. There will come a time when game makers stop making games for older versions of DirectX, but this is no different to what it has always been. If you do want to upgrade to Vista, I would advise you to go for a new system that supports the PCI Express standard for graphics as opposed to the older AGP standard. At the moment, I am using a GeForce 7600GT PCI Express graphics card and, although it doesn't support DX10, it is giving me good enough performance for what I use my machine for. A graphics card update, however, might be on the cards at a later date.
