DirectX 10 is a huge difference over DX9 however, games will be released with backword compatibility in mind. DirectX 10 does not install over directx 9 but is a seperate identity. If you dont have a directx10 card, it will perform functionality it has in a compatibility mode and will do a good amount of software algorithms on the images that otherwise would be done on the GPU. The big changes in DirectX 10 has to do with the graphics pipeline since it is built for shader version 4.0. Basically they go rid of the fixed pipeline (having to go vertex shader to pixel shader) and it now can be done in any order and they have added a 3rd shader called the geometry shader that will improve the ability to edit the geometry of an object on the fly. The other big change is that the developers will not longer have to check flags on the hardware to determine functionality. Instead, the venders will have to provide cards that have all the functionality in order to be classified as DirectX 10 compatible eliminating a lot of tedious work a developer would have to do that slows down programs a good amount.
