This DIRECTX 11 card has DRIVERS for WinXP and W7.
If the DIRECTX 11 hardware and firmware can't
be used in WinXP then what does the driver
do with it?
Would a game application actually prefer
DIRECTX 9 hardware/firmware to the
DirectX 9.0c software module?
I see a card that has shaders and stuff for DIRECTX9.
Would the DirectX 9.0c software module USE that stuff?

I found when studying upgrade options that
back when the upper CPU chips were $500
or $600 each, upgrading seemed less worthwhile
but now those same chips are $10 to $30
like the high end ones with hw Virtualization.
When a CPU that used to go for $600 sells
for $30, upgrading isn't so far fetched.
