Unless your card is DirectX 9 compatible its a waste of time. Everything released prior to the ATi Radeon 9000 is DirectX 8.1 or lower. Geforce 4s and older, and Radeon 8500 or older, are not DirectX 9 compliant.

If you install DirectX 9 it CANNOT be uninstalled without deleting a zillion registry entries manually....

Also, if you install DirectX 9 you'll no longer be able to run 3DMark2001, as it requires DirectX 8.1.
