He doesn't have a PIII. Nor is it necessary to have DirectX6.1 if you =
have a PIII. You just won't be taking advantage of the new SSE =
instructions that the PIII has.

    DirectX 6.1 is required for the PIII to operate correctly.

            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
