Don't waste your time with DirectX 6.1. There is no performance increase =
in most games. When I put DX6.1 on over DX6, Quake 2 would randomly =
lock-up with DirectSound errors and whatnot. The safest and most stable =
bet, especially if you are a gamer, is to install DirectX 6.

    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)
   =20
    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.
   =20
    System:
    P-II266, DMI motherboard (P2XLX),128ram, velocity 4400 agp (1.44
    drivers), voodoo2 (diamond 203 drivers), AWE64, mitsubishi 87txm
    monitor.
   =20
    Current games run great, quake2, unreal, Need4Speed3, no problems.
    Hope it stays that way with 6.0 or 6.1!
    Thanks
