Nvidias DX9 ION LE is DX10 after all @ eTeknix

Windows 7 launch has gone off with a bang, and most everything this time is ready to deal with the new OS. NVidia has also made sure to prepare the ION platform to take full advantage of Windows 7. 

"In order to capitalise on Windows 7s improved performance on lower specification machines, Nvidia have recently released the ION platform, which includes the Intel Atom processor and a GeForce 9400M graphics based MCP79 chipset. The ION is fully DirectX 10 compatible, something that Windows XP can't support, and this would be something that Microsoft and Nvidia will be using to help push Windows 7 netbook sales."

This beats the "Vista Ready" situation a while back.
