I've dual booted vista and xp64 on both my work p.c.'s (greedy :P) altho I only have a directx9 compliant card in the custom built one, the other one is onboard intel gfx but has a faster duo core 64-bit cpu.. go figure... so I'm lacking the aero theme on one. I might get it a new gfx card this week if it bothers me that much.

haha I wouldn't say it's greedy ... that's what I do on my system at home and I paid for them both so I daresay I deserve to run 'em

the onboard card thats in your laptop is a radeon mobility or something similar which are direct 9 compliant. All intel onboards are directx8 compliant as far as I know. Simply installing DirectX9 or 10 doesn't fix this because the features have to be supported by the card.

I hope I eat my own words on DirectX10 :) It'd be nice if it supported DirectX8 hardware as its own.
