What game specify exactly DX 8.1 as a requirement ? Why bother to upgrade ? I use DX 7 and still haven't found a game that can't be played on my Win95/AMD-700 box.

I decided to update DirectX and found that the latest version 8.1 won't work with Win95. Microsoft says that machines shipped with Win95 are too slow to work with games that require v8.1 so they require Win98 or better to use it. I guess Microsoft never heard of upgrading hardware! This Win95 box with a 1GHz Athlon and 512MB DDR ram should have the horse power to run most games released in the next year provided they don't require directX 8.1. Just another MS deal to force an OS upgrade. To unsubscribe from SURVPC send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe SURVPC in the body of the message.
