Need to install DirectX 6.0 or 6.1.
I am leaning to try 6.0 first.  If games (half-life, Sin, etc) don't run
right, I figure I can go to 6.1.  Heard its tougher going from 6.1 back
to 6.0
If things are fine, stay with 6.0.
Looking for positive suggestions or others' experiences.
Currently using DirectX 5.0 and everything runs fine.  I am using Win95b
(2.1)

Before installing 6.0, I plan to upgrade the velocity drivers (1.52?)
and the voodoo2 drivers to diamond's 207.
Will use reference drivers as a last resort.

System:
P-II266, DMI motherboard (P2XLX),128ram, velocity 4400 agp (1.44
drivers), voodoo2 (diamond 203 drivers), AWE64, mitsubishi 87txm
monitor.

Current games run great, quake2, unreal, Need4Speed3, no problems.
Hope it stays that way with 6.0 or 6.1!
Thanks
