    the real issue seems to be the apparent requirement to have a new video card to be able to use 10.1 - if i am reading things correctly. existing video cards will not work with dx 10.1. so my 8600GT, for instance, will not be workable with 10.1

    apparently, there will be no dx10. only dx 10.1 which will not be compatible with current 8 series nvidia cards. 10.1 will require completely new video hardware, and will be released with SP1 next year. google dx 10.1 or check this out: http://forums.cnet.com/5208-12...0069&messageID=2561054

    ya baby! but what's DRM? by the way, nobody on this thread seems to like war. i think it's because it only profits an elite few.

    i don't know what a drm is, but it's not the drive as far as i can see. seems to be a copy protection issue. dunno. anydvd first scans the disc and somehow causes it to be playable.

    ya...it's funny, but geezer. i'm excited that the dvds seem to play with anydvd. isn't that cool? course it costs a few denari. maybe acer will pay for it. that's a stretch. i already have the program, so i just installed it with the key.
