sorry to tell you there is no directx 10 on xp. Dx10 is design for vista platform. New VGA card that support Dx10 does not show their maximum pefromance on XP.

The last version of DirectX released for Windows XP was 9.0c. They don't make DirectX 10 for Windows XP and they never will. Otherwise, how would they get you to upgrade?  

The good news for you is, Windows 7 will probably be out Q4 of 2009, or Q1 of 2010.

I won't tell you to stick with Vista because you asked me not to, but the only problem with Vista is peoples opinion of it. I run Vista 64 bit, and games run better than XP, The OS itself runs smoother, and much much faster. It boots in >25 seconds (no lie!) while XP takes >60 on the same hardware (I dual boot.)  There is still one reason I use XP, and that is that there is no 64bit software (that I can afford) for audio editing.
