Well, as with all things Microsoft, I will wait a week or two before I consider installing the update, just to make sure that there are no problems created becuase of it.

Well...............
I installed it and have seen no problems...
But ah...
Are you saying Array that one would need the hardware to support DirectX 9?

yup....the only chip on the market right now that supports directX 9 is ATI's R300 which is implemented on the ATI 9500 and 9700 line of cards. when the geforceFX comes out, that will also be directX 9 compliant.

Not yet. I'm saving some money for a Radeon 9700 Pro. (I'm now running on a Matrox G450)

Well, that could be another possibility. I'm still looking for what's the best until I have the money available. I want some other things too (2nd TFT, DVD burner,....)
