Will it all change though when the 3D Module is released?
I don't know-
More chance that it'll get released after DX10 is and then we will all be waiting for the DX10 update,probrably due 3 months after the dx9 one, But, it wont come out till after DX11, etc.... :P
I think we all agree, we dont *need* all that power, just a 3D engine would be great :P
