XP and DX9 on a DX10 card?

Comment:

Hi I am building a new PC at the mo, and I want to keep it on XP for a bit, till vista starts to suck a bit less (fingers crossed for SP1), but I want the new machine to be prepared for it, so I would like to put a DX10 card in; I'm looking at a radeonHD 2400 PRO (not high end, i know). Anyway, I was wondering if I can use this DX10 card under XP and just run it on DX9 until I upgrade to Vista? Thanks

Sure you can! Though with an HD2400, you'll want to stick with DX9, even under Vista. DX10 gaming kills even the highest end graphics hardware.
