I would say early to mid 2007. For more info on DirectX take a look at the Wikipedia article on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DirectX

As you can see, I never edited the post, so you must not be able to read too good.

It gives you a few minutes to edit it before it says that it was edited.

Anyways, lets not get into an argument about this.

DirectX is hardware and software based. Your video card would have to support DX10 in order to fully use it (which it doesnt).

when dx10 comes out you will need a 1500 watt quality psu, a new case, new ram, new o/s, new mouse, new keyboard, and a new optical drive thats compliant with the new dx10 card.

Nope. The only things that you would need for a fully DX10 compliant machine is Vista, DX10 compatible video card, and DX10 itself.
