Does anyone know if...

a Pentium Mobile P4 2ghz laptop with a 128 bit ultra AGP 3D graphics engine with motion compensation support (whatever that means) using 8MB shared memory is up to the job of letting me start to learn to program directx9 in vb.net?

of course

You should see the minimum system requirements, you have way beyond that

 

[AndreRyan]

Minimum System Requirements? That depends on the program that uses DirectX, its requirements can be as high or low as you make them

Thanks guys...

This directx milarky is absolutely new to me so I know nothing about it.

However, my .NET Game Programming DirectX 9.0 should be here tomorrow and Ill get stuck in

Since your vid card has only 8MB of memory Im assuming its fairly old (or just low-end) and wont support many DX9 features (such as custom shaders) in hardware. But not to worry, because DX includes a software emulator, it will just give bad performance, but will still allow you to run and play with your code.
