    Some DirectCompute questions:

    Where is the "getting started" type documentation

    Will it run on XP?

    Thanx, and sorry if this info is already posted somewhere.

    No, DirectCompute is based on DirectX11, which like DirectX10 is only supported by new the driver model introduced by Windows Vista. So you'll need Vista or 7 to use DirectCompute

    Ok.  I now have Windows 7, C# 2010 Beta and C++ 2010 Beta on a PC with two Quadro FX 4600 (CUDA-compatible) cards, and the latest NVidia drivers.

    Any recommendations on getting started with DirectCompute (i.e., where are samples, tutorials, documentation) would be appreciated.
