Oh right. I'll have to check to see whether CUDA works. >:-D

Basically there's a couple of graphics demos I've seen out there that 
require a GeForce 8 or higher. How much do you want to bet that's really 
because they want DirectX 10?

I find that a little surprising - AFAIK, Vista uses a radically 
different internal graphics pipeline, so you'd think it wouldn't be 
possible to make it work on XP at all.
