Question Does my laptop support DirectX 10?

My laptop is a new computer, with Vista Home. When I do msinfo32, the name is NVIDIA MCP67M, but the adapter type is GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M, NVIDIA compatible
. Which one is the video card, and does it support DirectX 10?

Vista comes with DX10 in it already. The prepackaged hardwares already support DX10 as well as the new version of Windows. The GeForce designation is for the model of the video card or adapter.

No the 7 series does not support DirectX 10. The 7150 only supports DirectX 9c

The support is there while limited since DX is a set of 3D rendering drivers. You can also download and install DX 9c on Vista to take advantage of the full support there. The latest cards now being seen actually require Vista since DX10 is required.
