A series of questions for some of you who are perhaps a few years younger
than me: 

I would like a primary/high school age kid to use the Kodu
<http://fuse.microsoft.com/page/kodu>  game design system,  and it has these
prerequisites - 

 

.         A graphics card that supports DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 2.0 or
higher is required.

.         .NET Framework 3.5 or higher is required. 

.         XNA Framework 3.1 Redistributable is required.

Kodu is a Microsoft game designer -  it's not purely for games design, so it
says.

I need to check out his computer's capabilities first. 

 

Is DirectX 9.0c a redistributable, OK on Windows XP? Is there some utility
that can be run on his computer to see if it's OK? What CPU/GPU runs Shader
Model 2.0?
