DX10 comes standard with all versions of retail Vista, it's just a newer version of the programming API used to code games in Windows. Right now games specifically coded for the newer API have slightly better eyecandy at the cost of reduced performance (although exceptions exist). The 8800mGTX is the premier single card configuration for laptops in gaming so it will run every game released now without any problems.

Post future questions about the Sager in the dedicated forum when you do get your laptop.

dx10 compatability comes with the video cards however you need vista to use dx10 and also most games will run better in xp on dx9 and will probably look very similar
