For a quick visual on whats the biggie just look at the screenshots... DX 10 supposedly allows for not only better graphics but more efficient use of GPUs because they are equipped with Stream processors that can adapt to Pixel or Vertex shading on the fly as opposed to Current DX9 hardware which has a set amount of Pixel shaders and a set amount of Vertex shaders.

In laymans terms - it should offer an overall fast and better gaming experience...

BUT Current DirectX 10 titles are very slow performing compared to their DX9 counterparts so you need a higher range card like the 8800GTS...

I recommend getting the 8800GTS if only to play the most anticipated PC game of the year when it comes out - Crysis... its a big title and your pc will have the power to play it with the ram/cpu you just need the graphics..
Thanks for the explanation - except I'm never ever going to play this game or anything like it
