XP doesn't need to support "it" for a GPU to have unified shaders... how things are done internally in the hardware's architecture is of no importance to XP.
Nonetheless, this isn't true. It's well known that R520 doesn't have unified shaders.

I have my doubts about this as well but really, nothing is "well known" about the internals of R520. You simply can't state as fact that this isn't true, unless you have some inside info, then I'd love to hear about it.

No. If it had this, ATI would be pimping it like no tommorow.

If it turns out by some remote chance that R520 has unified shaders (DX 10 is done after all) then expect to hear nVidiots claim it's a useless feature being ready for DX10 because games won't utilize it until R600 & Vista rolls around. The same people that have preached about SM 3.0/Open EXR (despite mediocre game support) will do an about face, mark my words.

Way to generalize...
