The new ATI's will proly be quite expensive, but they may release budget line cards as well. Same goes for Nvidia; I would hope in the next 3 months they release some more budget line DX10 cards.(HOPEFULLY)
IMO, The 8800series cards were merely bait for all the very Rich crowd to blow 400-600$ so they could be the first to have the latest and greatest, not to mention DX10 when it was totally useless.

Will Direct X10 cards play on XP without faults?

For the most part, YES.
My advice to you: Buy a mid-range card ATM(at the moment) to hold you over. You can find the 7900GS at a pretty good price. The x1950PRO JLK linked is good as well. Then buy a DX10 card in the future when you have Vista and drivers are stable.
Also, the speed of you GPU memory(DDR, DDR2..) does not matter. Anything will work.
