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.
