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

I just grabbed the newest Diamond Viper V550 drivers along with DX6.1... and then used the FF7 RivaTNT patch. Everything is working perfectly. I even updated myself to the deonator reference driver from nVidia, and everything's still working properly(however.. the Detonator driver has little kinks with my multi-monitor set-up.. unrelated to anything else, of course). I'm just using DX 6.1 because it's available, of course. One of the main feature for DX 6.1 is the support for SIMD for the Pentium III... I don't have a Pentium III.. so that really doesn't make any difference.

Install DirectX 6.0 which is more stable than 6.1. When upgrading your Monster 3DII with 207 it will look for DirectX 6.0 point to your file m3dII. It will then install your DirectX 6.0. regards, L.

Go for DX 6.0... after installing 6.1, I'm unable to run FF7 or Theme Hospital in hi-res mode.

Simple: if it ain't broken, don't fix it. Only install a new BIOS, drivers, etc... if your current setup doesn't work.

It's only a matter of time before you will need 6.1. The Turok 2 demo states that 6.1 is needed to run the game. I have been using 6.1 since the final beta with no problems in any of my games.

I installed the new direct x 6.1 off of the MS Update web site and it totally messed up Heretic 2. I kept getting re_gl.dll errors. I tried everything, patched the RIVA to the latest TNT and still got the crash. Then I tried the Voodoo 2 and got the same error although the voodoo 2 drivers I use are the witchdoctor ones because I think that's what you are stuck with if you have a Canopus TNT. The only way I fixed my system was to download the dirextx6core.exe from the net to overwrite my direct x 6.1 install. Now things are back to normal and I will not add directx6.1 until a killer app makes me. By the way, Turok 2 is not a killer app. Duke forever may be. -Don Biz donbiz@ix.netcom.com Gary Young <gyoung@hickory.net> wrote in message news:QPuE2.31$UR4.122796@news2.randori.com... >It's only a matter of time before you will need 6.1.

The win9* graphics problems with FCG with my Voodoo 2 were finally fixed by DX6.1 with the latest 3dfx drivers. One advantage of DX6.1.
