    At first, all new technology will cost more. The biggest move as far as hardware goes, will be the use of the new DirectX 10 compatible video cards and chipsets. Chipsets running onboard video will have to be compliant as well.

    As of now, there are no DirectX 10 compatible cards. (even though Vista uses DirectX 10 now)
